Build failure on 64-bit Centos 4.4

I downloaded and unpacked subversion-1.4.6.tar.bz2 and subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.bz2.

        $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local

completed successfully

        $ make all check install

failed like this:

    cd subversion/libsvn_ra_dav && /bin/sh /home/erich/local/src/subversion-1.4.6/libtool --tag=CC --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -g -O2 -pthread -rpath /home/erich/local/lib -o libsvn_ra_dav-1.la commit.lo fetch.lo file_revs.lo log.lo merge.lo options.lo props.lo replay.lo session.lo util.lo ../../subversion/libsvn_delta/libsvn_delta-1.la ../../subversion/libsvn_subr/libsvn_subr-1.la /home/erich/local/src/subversion-1.4.6/apr-util/libaprutil-0.la -lexpat /home/erich/local/src/subversion-1.4.6/apr/libapr-0.la -lrt -lm -lcrypt -lnsl -lpthread -ldl /home/erich/local/src/subversion-1.4.6/neon/src/libneon.la -lz

    /home/erich/local/src/subversion-1.4.6/neon/src/.libs/libneon.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

How can I get past this?
