Problems compiling 1.7.0 on redhat el4 64bit

For a while I was downloading and running the development build of subversion 1.7.0. At one revision of the code I started having an issue where svn would immediately segfault. At that time I stopped using 1.7.0 assuming the issue would be fixed before release. Unfortunately I just downloaded the beta2 release of 1.7.0 and I'm having the same problem. Interestingly enough I can successfully build beta2 on one of our 32bit systems, but I can't use that build on our 64 bit systems because it tries to link against the 32bit version of libmagic.

It's important to note that I don't get any errors compiling the design. It's just that after I install it I get a segfault when I try and run svn. Ironically, if I run svn with no options or invalid options it successfully runs, but as soon as I add a valid option like "svn help" it segfaults. I've spent multiple hours trying to compile with different options to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH variables and I've tried to mix up how I build apr, apr-util, serf, and neon, but it always results in the same problem.

I am using a very vanilla build process.

Wget
Tar
./get-deps.sh
./configure -prefix=$HOME/local
make && make install

As I've noted I have successfully built a development version of 1.7.0 on our 64bit systems in the past.
