subversion 1.5 rc11 fails to build on Fedora [ FC7 ]

I am having some trouble building subversion 1.5 rc11 on fedora core 7. The
build aborts [ during compilation ] with this message

/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libaprutil-1.la] Error 1

My build host is : 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
The latest ³expat² package is installed on this host I.e expat-1.95.8-9 [
/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0.5.0 ].

However I can build using the version of expat that is included in the
dependencies tar file ³subversion-deps-1.5.0-rc11.tar.gz² . This one
appears to be an older revision 1.95.2 [ libexpat.so.0.1.0].

My preference would be to build with the newer revision. Is this a known
issue?. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
