It works for me on my Linux box. I build shared most of the time.

The lt-svn executable is created when you run the clients/cmdline/svn
script. If you delete lt-svn and run the svn script, lt-svn should be
recreated. The script contains a 'relink_command' that specifies the
necessary libraries and rpath options. Looking at that command I see
relative path libraries such as

../../../subversion/libsvn_ra/.libs/libsvn_ra.so

absolute path libraries such as

/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj/subversion/libsvn_wc/.libs/libsvn_wc.so

and --rpath options such as

-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj/subversion/libsvn_repos/.libs

As far as I can see the relative path libraries are the explicit
dependencies, and the absolute path libraries arise when one
Subversion library depends on another. Within my build tree, any
Subversion libraries that are linked to other Subversion libraries
resolve those links within the tree.
