I managed to get the build working without *too much* pain. Unfortunately, I'm stuck using RHEL 5.11 on this one machine for the forseeable future. Our other machines are running 7.2 and seem to work better. Thanks for the tip about Wandisco's offerings. I didn't think to look around for builds of old subversion. I'll keep your tools in mind if I need to build subversion again in the future.
