The error codes may be OS specific, as could be interpreted from
the following code snippet from subversion/include/svn_error_codes.h:

#define SVN_ERR_CATEGORY_SIZE 5000

/* Leave one category of room at the beginning, for SVN_WARNING and
   any other such beasts we might create in the future. */
#define SVN_ERR_BAD_CATEGORY_START (APR_OS_START_USERERR \
                                         + ( 1 * SVN_ERR_CATEGORY_SIZE))
#define SVN_ERR_XML_CATEGORY_START (APR_OS_START_USERERR \
                                         + ( 2 * SVN_ERR_CATEGORY_SIZE))

But they are not build specific, are they?
