Failing tests Darwin/Debian

Trying to set up a buildbot slave on my system, I had failing tests
(ra-local-test and svnsync_tests.py).

The problem looked like the system was linking to the wrong dynamic libs.

 Knowing Debian libtool can cause problems like that when testing
non-installed libs, I changed libtool to vanilla 1.5.22 (and later
also to 1.5.20). This didn't solve my test problems.

Ben Reser had the same failing test on Darwin (ra-local-test). He
figured out part of the patch below, which solved his problem on
Darwin. I extended the reasoning to svnsync which fixed both problems
for me on Debian.

BTW: The installed svn is 1.3.0-dev; I'm trying to compile trunk.

This is the patch required to get it going:

As buildsystems aren't my strong point, I greatly welcome comments!
