I've tried writing patches for this a few times using libtool's
-export-symbols-regex as attached, it's a little tricky coming up with a
good regex which defines only the public symbol names but not the __,
maybe I overcomplicated; and it reveals quite a few cases which strictly
look like interface violations currently:

add-cmd.o(.text+0x69): In function `svn_cl__add':
subversion/clients/cmdline/add-cmd.c:60: undefined reference to `svn_error__locate'
... and quite a few more like that in various places

log-cmd.o(.text+0x2d8): In function `log_message_receiver':
subversion/clients/cmdline/log-cmd.c:258: undefined reference to `svn_sort__hash'
ls-cmd.o(.text+0x19): In function `print_dirents':
subversion/clients/cmdline/ls-cmd.c:45: undefined reference to `svn_sort__hash'
subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/.libs/libsvn_fs_fs-1.so: undefined reference to `svn_txdelta__apply_instructions'
subversion/libsvn_fs_base/.libs/libsvn_fs_base-1.so: undefined reference to `svn_txdelta__copy_window'
subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/.libs/libsvn_fs_fs-1.so: undefined reference to `svn_txdelta__compose_windows'
