 (As I'm the new maintainer I handle this PR)
 
 It's not an apache problem but an apr problem.
 Even if threads are disabled, apr sets at configure time CPPFLAGS with
 "-D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE", so this is the correct apr behavior.
 (I think that apr developpers are aware of this).
 
 AFAIK, mod_jk2 theorically WANTS a threads-enabled apache environment.
 If you want to build mod_jk2 without threading support, you should
 contact mod_jk2 maintainer.
 See http://www.thinlizard.com/lizard/modjk2.html
 to know how to correctly compile mod_jk2 without thread.
 
 Futhermore, it's a not a ports related problem, just an apr oddity :-)
 I will investigate to know why apr set CPPFLAGS like this.
