The binaries you've just finished compiling as a part of the build
process.

Why package binaries that don't work?

As an aside to this, I would recommend snagging the .src.rpm from Dag
Wieers' apt/yum repository, and trying to rebuild that; I found I had
trouble rebuilding the particular packages you're trying as well.
(Listed at http://dag.wieers.com/packages/subversion/, may need minor
tweakage for RH9.)
