You appear to be configuring Subversion using --with-apache. Don't do
that.

Since you are building and installing Apache it is probably easiest if
you configure Subversion using --with-apr=..., --with-apr-util=... and
--with-apxs=... to get Subversion to use the Apache installation.

No idea. Probably a side effect of using --with-apache.

Is there anything in config.log? I suspect it is something to do with
4.0.14 versus 4.1.25. I think the main reason we still recommend the
older BDB is for configure reasons.

4.0.14 is available at http://www.sleepycat.com/download/patchlogs.shtml

In future just show the exact command used to configure, and the exact
error message. Not everyone want's to download 700k.
