Hmmm. Well, your patch has revealed a deeper problem, I think:

I was going to propose that the Right Fix here is not that hard: just
use SVN_VER_MAJOR from svn_version.h, and "%d" it into the string.
Simple, right?

But, SVN_VER_MAJOR is 0 currently. So I asked myself, how come the
libraries are getting installed under "libsvn_foo-1" right now, when
the whole point of the libsvn_foo numbers was supposedly to match the
major version number?

I found some clues in rev 2200:

It turns out that we're not getting the library version number from
svn_version.h, instead we're getting it from build.conf:

   [options]
   # for use in (include) paths and library construction
   version = 1

Greg Stein, is there some reason we're not parsing this out of
svn_version.h? If it's supposed to match the major version, then we
should just get it from SVN_VER_MAJOR.

The fact that it was initialized to 1 instead of 0 makes me wonder
about my assertion that it's supposed to match the major version
number... But then again, I can't think of anything *else* it would be
tied to. The major version seems the obvious choice.

So Scott: first we need to get the above settled, then we can apply a
no-doubt-trivial Right Fix to ra_loader.c.
