Serf requires them, but in this case, the Subversion build is meant.

That would be overambitious! :) :) :) I simply thought that because serf
needs those switches in it's own compile, I try that, and I got lucky.

However, here is what happens for me:

Steps to reproduce:

   svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk trunk3
   cd trunk3
   ./get-deps.sh
   cd apr
   ./buildconf
   cd ../apr-util/
   ./buildconf
   cd ..
   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --with-serf=/usr/local/serf

Error message:

checking for inttypes.h... yes
checking for stdint.h... yes
checking for unistd.h... yes
configure: serf library configuration via prefix
checking serf.h usability... yes
checking serf.h presence... yes
checking for serf.h... yes
checking for serf_context_create in -lserf-1... no
configure: serf library configuration via pkg-config
checking for serf-2 library... no
checking for serf-1 library... no
checking was serf enabled... no

An appropriate version of serf could not be found, so libsvn_ra_serf
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_serf, please
install serf 1.2.0 or newer.

configure: error: Serf was explicitly enabled but an appropriate version
was not found.
