Compilation is not failing. The bindings fail at runtime on i686, but works on
x86_64.

Here are the perl and subversion cflags on i686 :

subversion: -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -pthread -
D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DNE_LFS

perl: -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector
-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

I think the problem may be caused by the absence of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 in
the subversion cflags. I do not get the failure in the "make test" if I do
export CFLAGS+=" -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
before building subversion.
