He was told to compile with "--enable-maintainer-mode" to get the
debugging symbols. I immagine this e-mail is meant to demonstrate that
this is not sufficient.

Marc, not everyone reads all the messages on the lists. Please provide
more context in your e-mails.

Maybe try using something like "$ CFLAGS=-g ./configure
--enable-maintainer-mode [...]"; make clean; make

Also make sure you get rid of any previously installed Subversion libs
before compiling.

I'm not sure if that will work, but I hope it will.
