I am building Subversion 1.8.1 on Solaris. The dependent libraries
(APR, APR-util, Serf) are built, specified, and ready to go, and yet
this happens:
configure: serf library configuration via prefix
checking serf.h usability... yes
checking serf.h presence... yes
checking for serf.h... yes
checking for serf_context_create in -lserf-1... no
configure: serf library configuration via pkg-config
checking for serf-2 library... sh: gnome-config: not found
no
checking for serf-1 library... sh: gnome-config: not found
no
checking was serf enabled... no
An appropriate version of serf could not be found, so libsvn_ra_serf
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_serf, please
install serf 1.2.1 or newer.
configure: error: Serf was explicitly enabled but an appropriate version was
not found.
Here is the relevant excerpt from config.log:

These symbols are defined in various Solaris support libraries, and if I
configure with LIBS="-luuid -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lsendfile", the
link test succeeds and Subversion uses the library.
The problem, however, is that...
$ grep ^dep /tmp/apr-build/_install/lib/libapr-1.la
dependency_libs=' -lresolv -luuid -lsendfile -lrt -lsocket -lnsl -lpthread'
$ grep ^Libs: /tmp/apr-build/_install/lib/pkgconfig/apr-1.pc
Libs: -L${libdir} -lapr-${APR_MAJOR_VERSION} -lresolv -luuid -lsendfile
-lrt -lsocket -lnsl -lpthread
...this dependency information is already contained in the Libtool and
pkg-config metadata for libapr, yet Subversion's configure script is
not using it. Setting LIBS should not be necessary.
This isn't just a Solaris thing, either. On Linux, uuid_generate() also
lives in a separate -luuid library---so I get the same error when
configuring, only LIBS="-luuid" is enough to get past it:
/tmp/apr-build/_install/lib/libapr-1.a(rand.o)(.text+0xc): In function
`apr_os_uuid_get':
: undefined reference to `uuid_generate'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
