I have no idea if I'm right, but I suspect it means that for bundles on
OS X (i.e. dynamically loadable modules like a perl module) you can't
reference one library that dynamically references another and expect it
to work. We reference libsvn_whatever, which references
libapr-whatever, and as soon as it hits a symbol in libapr-whatever it
blows up. Adding --link-ld means that we get the following output from
apr-config:

$ apr-config --cflags --link-ld --libs
  -g -O2 -L/Users/rooneg/Hacking/prefix/lib -lapr-1 -lpthread

Without --link-ld we get this:

$ apr-config --cflags --libs
  -g -O2 -lpthread

So we need to --link-ld to tell it where to pick up libapr-1.dylib.
What are the results when you try this on the system you're using?
