Thanks everyone for the help.

Like Branden, I have four other Gentoo ~amd64 boxes with subversion use flag
sasl, and they work fine. This laptop has always worked fine too, until about
2011-12-05.

Gentoo currently removes .la files, IIUC, after the source compilation stage. I
ran the deprecated tool to find and remove them, just in case. No .la files were
found from any package.

$ sudo lafilefixer --justfixit
...
/usr/lib64/libsasl2.la already clean, skipping update.
...

The subversion and cyrus-sasl packages are built with the following use flags.
(-sasl configured just now)

dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25 USE="gdbm mysql pam postgres
sqlite ssl -authdaemond -berkdb -java -kerberos -ldapdb
-openldap -sample -srp -static-libs -urandom"

dev-vcs/subversion-1.7.1 USE="apache2 bash-completion nls
perl python webdav-neon
-berkdb -ctypes-python -debug -doc -dso -extras -gnome-keyring
-java -kde -ruby -sasl -vim-syntax -webdav-serf"

I am now able to access svn:// urls, so the local problem is masked, although
not fully understood. I'd like to follow it to the cause so I can file a Gentoo
bug if needed.

Are there any files under etc/ or ~/.subversion that might influence
subversion's protocol to access to svn:// urls? I had previously cleared out
~/.subversion/auth FWIW. I'm grasping for something that might be different on
this machine than the others.

Thanks,
Jeff
