This problem gets reported from time to time. It's never happened on
any of my machines and I don't really know what causes it. I suspect
a libtool bug, but you haven't mentioned any versions, or even what OS
you are using.

Which libraries are wrongly located?

Does the problem only affect svnversion, or does it affect the other
binaries such as subversion/clients/cmdline/.libs/lt-svn?

If it affects other binaries, is it always the same libraries?

Do this to see the link command:

$ rm subversion/svnversion/svnversion
$ make

then repeat the link command at the command prompt but remove the
--silent option, this will cause libtool to print the link command it
uses. Does that command treat the libraries that are correctly
located differently from those that are not?

What about the link command for other binaries? How do they treat the
libraries that are not correctly located?
