svn client verbosity / debugging --> possibly help compiling

Hi all.

I'm trying to figure out where the time is being spent, during excessively long svn up / svn stat, etc, so I can decide if I need faster disks, faster network, or what. When I do an svn update, it takes 6-7 minutes before the first packet goes out on the network, yet iostat seems to indicate there's not a lot of local disk activity. Is there any way to make svn client verbose, or debug, to tell me what it's doing with its time?

Since I hit a roadblock trying to figure this out (couldn't find any way to make svn client verbose) I took a guess that I can compile it with some sort of debugging options turned on. But I'm having difficulty getting the thing to compile, even for the simplest of configuration. Here's what I'm trying:

RHEL 4u5 x86_64. Not much customization; basically out-of-the-box.
tar xzf subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
tar xzf subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.4.6
      ./configure --prefix=/home/eharvey/local
      (Everything looks good, but warning about no Berkeley DB)
      make
Error as follows:
cd subversion/libsvn_ra_dav && /bin/sh /scratch/eharvey/subversion-1.4.6/libtool --tag=CC --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -g -O2 -pthread -rpath /scratch/eharvey/local/lib -o libsvn_ra_dav-1.la commit.lo fetch.lo file_revs.lo log.lo merge.lo options.lo props.lo replay.lo session.lo util.lo ../../subversion/libsvn_delta/libsvn_delta-1.la ../../subversion/libsvn_subr/libsvn_subr-1.la /scratch/eharvey/subversion-1.4.6/apr-util/libaprutil-0.la -lexpat /scratch/eharvey/subversion-1.4.6/apr/libapr-0.la -lrt -lm -lcrypt -lnsl -lpthread -ldl /scratch/eharvey/subversion-1.4.6/neon/src/libneon.la -lz
/usr/bin/ld: /scratch/eharvey/subversion-1.4.6/neon/src/.libs/libneon.a(ne_request.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/libsvn_ra_dav-1.la] Error 1

I've tried everything I could think of - export CXXFLAGS=-fPIC, editing Makefile, googling around, searching this list, run it as root, with or without the prefix, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

Still no luck.
