Which apr version did you use?
I think this issue was fixed in Subversion 1.7.2:
(From http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.7.2/CHANGES)
* properly define WIN64 on Windows x64 builds (r1188609)
Not by a code change here in this piece of the code, but by making sure that
the pointer size is defined correctly in apr.
So that would fix this issue and maybe several others.
