You shouldn't be compiling apr 1.0 against *any* version of Subversion. 
  Yes, it's possible.  But no, it shouldn't be done.  You should build 
rebuild svn 1.0.7 using the apr that ships in the 1.0.7 tarball, or, if 
not possible, use the apr that ships in apache-2.0.51.

apr 1.0 breaks binary compatibility with apr 0.9.x, and thus violates 
Subversion's own compatibility rules.  Our guarantee is that subversion 
1.x will always work with subversion 1.y, which will always work with 
the apr/apr-util shipped in apache-2.0.x, which means only apr-0.9.5 
and later.  And, in a separate parallel universe, apache-2.1 uses 
apr-1.x, and is binary incompatible with older apr's.  That means that 
in order to keep subversion's compatibility policy, it cannot use 
apache-2.1 or apr-1.x until subversion 2.0 is released.

Subversion 1.1.0 is due out this month.  There have been 3 release 
candidates over the last two months.  So keep your eyes peeled for 
announcements.
