There seems to be a mix of relative and absolute paths with respect to zlib in 
the build script. I'm writing this on my phone so I can't look at the script 
while writing this but the ZLIBPROJ variable (if memory serves) is assigned a 
relative path; the library binaries are copied from there to another relative 
path location; but the --with-zlib= for building Subversion uses an absolute 
path starting with C:\ -- perhaps you have a different zlib there? If so then 
you're building one zlib in this script but using a different zlib when 
building Subversion, perhaps one built with mingw instead of MSVC or something. 
That would explain the linker errors. Unless I'm missing something else :-)

Hope this helps
