Thanks for doing this!

+1. This was indeed an antique distro and compiler being used. The
issue was not in SVN but in liblz4, and actually not there either but
in the compiler being used not supporting certain intrinsics. I
provided a workaround that should have gotten the OP past the issue
and we never heard back. SVN and its dependencies are known to build
on ARM with reasonably updated tools. There's nothing more we
can/should do here.

+1. We don't even support building with neon anymore, and haven't in ages.

+1. Confirmed it doesn't assert for me as well, with 1.13.x.

+1 on the grounds that it wasn't discussed on the list, or afterwards.
I couldn't find any relevant information.

Mismatched dependencies used in the builds of SVN and HTTPD being used
on the server? I vaguely remembered discussions from the distant past
about that and a few quick searches did turn up some examples where
that was found to be the cause. I don't know for sure if that's the
cause in this specific case, but without more information it is
difficult to tell. Let's assume the 1.4.x number is correct here and
close it. (After all, they couldn't have mistyped 1.14.x because that
hadn't been on the horizon yet.) We can always reopen it if this is
found to still apply.

I haven't looked at this one in detail yet; gotta run... I'll try to
come back to it.

Thanks again for looking into these!

Cheers,
