What are the permissions of all the path components up to and
including the library that fails to load?

Something like this could print all the path components and their
permissions:

    ls -ld $(
        libpath='/usr/local/lib/apache2/libaprutil-0.so.9'
        while [ -n "${libpath}" ] && [ ! "${libpath_prev}" = "${libpath}" ]; do
            echo "${libpath}"
	    libpath_prev="${libpath}"
	    libpath=$(dirname "${libpath}")
        done )
