IIRC Debian has a specially patched libtool. Subvesion trunk uses APR's libtool, as can be seen in your transcript: cd subversion/libsvn_repos && /usr/share/apr-1.0/build/libtool Maybe the problem is that APR's libtool differs from Debian's? I don't know. But Subversion trunk compiles fine for me (on OpenBSD), so I suppose the problem you are seeing is either specific to your machine or to Debian. I know there are other developers that compile on Debian and it works for them. One of our buildbots which is running Debian seems to be happy, too: http://ci.apache.org/builders/svn-debian-x86_64-32%20shared%20gcc/builds/1897 If you're really stuck, try tools/dev/unix-build/, which is what I use to compile Subversion builds for development. AFAIK it works on Debian. It tries to avoid distribution-provided dependencies as much as possible.
