 Judging from your replies to emails, I seem not to understand what you
 want here.
 For example, which version(s) do you want to build in this case?
 
 Also, what new information does your patch give tools vs. the existing
 lines, e.g. from apache.mk:
 BUILD_DEFS+=                    PKG_APACHE_DEFAULT
 BUILD_DEFS_EFFECTS+=            PKG_APACHE APACHE_PKG_PREFIX
 
 Thanks,
