without the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS patch only the 64-bit stuff depending on 
the fixed apr.h/apr-64.h needs rebuilding, the 32bit stuff is 
unaffected. But can the OpenCSW framework rebuild only the 64-bit 
dependencies?

That's why I didn't include the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS patch by default. 
Without it all the working 32-bit applications and libraries remain 
backward and forward ABI compatible.
The 64-bit applications and libraries depending on the old apr.h were 
potentially (certainly for subversion) broken anyway.

Or, in other words, the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS patch is irrelevant for 
64-bit, because there _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is already set to 64.
Setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on 32-bit would be nice for the 
functionality of 32-bit applications, but has the big drawback of 
changing the ABI (if you try the patch you will see a changed apr-32.h) 
of apr. And changing the ABI means you need a way to force users to 
update all their installed applications/libraries depending on apr if 
they try to update apr alone.
