BUG: Error in the INSTALL doc

Hi!

less -N INSTALL (r. 1721)

   329 Unpack it, and use the standard GNU procedure to compile:
   330
   331 $ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-shared
   332 $ make
   333
   334 (The first switch to ./configure turns on debugging, and the
   335 second switch builds a statically-linked client binary.)

However, this produce dynamically linked binary, when there are
subversion's libraries statically linked inside of it.

Strickly speaking, this kind of binary isn't statically linked client
binary.

vs.

root @ eowyn 88 # ldd /bin/ash.static
        not a dynamic executable

These could be really misleading, because I would count at least libs:
libneon and libapr to things that I will wipe off if I like made
really really clean subversion building. => BANG, the svn will not work
anymore!

IMHO, INSTALL-doc or linking need fixing.
