That is NOT an "accident". That is entirely by design.

APRUTIL is *supposed* to be linked against Expat on the system, and
SVN is *supposed* to use that fact to find Expat for its own usage.

If I'm required to pass more stuff on the command line, then it is a
*regression*. Period. That is the very definition of regression.

And if that regression causes a build break, then you better get this
fixed before somebody decides to revert it. The last time you broke
our build, we said "it is fair to revert when a change breaks the
build". You've now broken the build, so it is just a small matter of
time before somebody reverts this change. You have until then to fix
it.
