IMHO, this patch is small enough to be included in Buildroot tree.

Download manually the patch, place it in your package directory and name it 
RAWNAME-DESCRIPTION.patch (apache-cross-compile-fix.patch) (Exact naming rule 
is in packages/pkg-generic.mk:$(BUILD_DIR)/%/.stamp_patched).

Patch will be automatically applied.
