I've done more with it now: it's working beautifully.

I hadn't run into that sort of thing before, either, but then I
haven't done that much development or compiling of tools from source,
either. But I did find an earlier post to both of these mailing
lists in 2004 that reported a very similar issue (and partially clued
me in on how to fix it):

As for umask settings, I don't know that I've changed them since my
previous (successful) install of subversion 1.3.0; my user umask is
77, but I don't recall how that might change when running under
sudo. For that matter (in case it's relevant or helpful), after
discovering that my new svn 1.4.3 wasn't functional, I /was/ able to
run "make install" from my old svn 1.3.0 source directory and get the
program back to a working state. (Only after that did I track down
the problem to get the 1.4.3 version back up and running.)

I'm reasonably certain that my libtool is just whatever Apple gave me
(though it's showing a date of 18 Nov 2006, which suggests that it
may have been affected by an Apple software update somewhat recently).
