Same exact failure in OS X with their libtool or a stock libtool.
Doesn't matter.

Neither of us were using dso. In fact DSO doesn't even work right on
OS X because the hard coded lib names are wrong. Oddly enough we
still let people turn it on OS X. But that's a whole different issue.

Yes.

For whatever reason unless I use the ordering that's in the patch the
dynamic linker loads two sets of the libsvn_subr, libsvn_fs_fs and
libsvn_delta libraries. Despite a lot of digging I can't determine
why it is doing that. Even using the tools to try and tell me what it
is doing.
