Hmm, that wasn't very helpful -- in more detail,

The undefined symbols are only defined in locks/unix/intraproc.c if
APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE is set. This (or rather USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE --
no APR_ -- typo?) is only defined if

AC_IFALLYES(header:pthread.h define:PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED dnl
            custom:with_pthread_cross,
            AC_DECIDE(USE_PROC_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE, [pthread mutex]))

but there is no check for PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED. So I added an
AC_CHECK_DEFINE, and ran with --with-pthread-cross (which I don't know
what means) and had some other problem.

At this point I gave up and ran configure --without-threads or
--disable-threads, just so I could get Subversion built, and that seemed
to work.

I would have reported all that yesterday, but it was my first time building
Subversion, so I thought I was doing something stupid wrong. I guess not.

I'd be happy to volunteer one of my machines to doing a continuous checkout
and build of Subversion, if there's nothing doing that already, btw.
