It's been a while since I bothered rebuilding from source; the binaries
provided work find for me.

To be a little more specific about what to do, you have to indicate
which RH version or variant you're building on. For instance, I could
use "rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'dist el3'
subversion-1.1.3-0.1.rf.src.rpm" on my systems, because I'm running
White Box (derived from RHEL3). For RH9, use --define 'dist rh9'
instead.

As far as I can tell from reading the spec file, this just disables
something with respect to SWIG. However, from your other message:

This looks like some sort of compiler-related error. I can say that the
build should succeed on a stock RHEL3 or any derivative; I just tried
that on my system. In particular, the line "cc1: unrecognized option
`-fpie'" needs further investigation: cc1 is supposedly a component of
gcc, and as far as I can tell should support that option. RH9 should
work as well, as RHEL3 was closely based on RH9 IIRC.

Try with --define 'dist rh9' and see if that fixes the error; if that
works you should then be able to modify the spec file as needed to build
the extra components you're looking for.
