I've figured out this problem...
It comes from Mandrake's autoconf package trying to be smart. Due to
their incompatabilities Mandrake went to some effort to make autoconf
2.13 and autoconf 2.5x to install in parallel. The autoconf command is
then replaced by a wrapper that figures out which version of autoconf
will work on your configure.in file the best.
When we build our tarball we run dist.sh which runs our autogen.sh which
in turn runs the buildconf(.sh) of apr and apr-util. apr, apr-util and
expat (included in apr-util) have configure.in files that work with both
2.13 and 2.5x (though with warnings). Mandrake's autoconf wrapper was
selecting 2.13 for them and 2.5x for subversion's configure.in.
So I removed Mandrake's autoconf packages from my chroot and installed
autoconf 2.59. Unfortunately 2.59 would not handle the configure.in for
expat. Nor would 2.58. I ended up with 2.57 (which is what was used
for 1.0.1).
Once I used a source built 2.57 of autoconf I was able to get a tarball
that did not have problems with the above. So right now the RM needs a
source built autoconf 2.57 and a source built libtool 1.4.3 in order to
get a good tarball.
This should be fixed with the next release. The work around given by
Tobias can be used in the meantime. Although in my experience autoconf
2.57 is needed not 2.58.

Not handy now. But the configure would fail with errors on Linux. 2.57
seems to work fine for everyone, so I'll just stay with it for now.

I haven't seen a problem with Autoconf 2.59 on Solaris or Mac OS X with the
bundled expat-lite. Do you have details? -- justin
