As far as I know it should work. You have to arrange your header
files and your -I directives so that the Subversion compile picks up
the 4.2 bdb header files and not the 4.1 header files, i.e. you have
to arrange the search order so that 4.2 comes *first*. The compile
will still work if you get that wrong, but it won't use the bdb 4.2
symbols.

Try running nm on libsvn_fs_base-1.so and you should see undefined
references to the 4.2 symbols rather than the 4.1 symbols:

$ nm subversion/libsvn_fs_base/.libs/libsvn_fs_base-1.so | grep db_cre
         U db_create_4002

If you got your compile command wrong you will see references to 4.1
symbols instead of the 4.2 symbols.

That won't work, apr-util has references to the 4.1 symbols so you
need to link 4.1.
