The web browser for the archive blows. But you can get there via
http://subversion.tigris.org/ and a billion clicks thru the web archive
navigator :-(

As a wild guess... you mentioned problems with -soname. SVN doesn't attempt
to insert that into compiles/links. If APR is putting it in there, and
you're seeing a problem with it, well... :-)
Note that when libtool does a compile, it is really just a wrapper around
GCC and the params that have been defined for it. SVN doesn't do anything
complicated because we depend upon APR, yet it sounds like APR is doing
something a bit extraordinary in there somewhere. (and not exporting it via
APRVARS to its clients)
Whatever the case, I have a full set of shared libs and it all works fine.
I'm off to bed now, tho... good luck.
Cheers,
