I don't think it's a real standard. It's just something that libcs  
started implementing. I think OpenBSD did it first and then others  
started copying.

Would it work if you simply changed $apr1$ to $1$? I can't really see  
why $apr1$ would otherwise work in glibc. I just checked its sources  
and also Ubuntu patches. There's no mention of apr1 in them.
