I am not sure, "I" would do nothing. As I had 5min of time I toyed around with 
subversion. As the developers usually only do linux, I took a opensuse 12.1.

Configured like this :
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/svn

build and tested :

ldd ./subversion/bindings/swig/python/libsvn_swig_py/.libs/libsvn_swig_py-1.so | grep svn
        libsvn_client-1.so.0 => /root/subversion-1.7.3/subversion/libsvn_client/.libs/libsvn_client-1.so.0 (0x00007fbd3754b000)

Staged it , like this  
 export DESTDIR=/opt/test ; gmake install
and guess what happens :

ldd /opt/test/opt/svn/lib64/libsvn_client-1.so | grep svn

Well, skipping -R in the linker call and using ldconfig makes life easy.


So who to blaim ? libtool ? Good luck with that .

Maybe one can work out a workaround for the relink_command, there you find 
@inst_prefix_dir at . Simply using -R/opt/csw/lib/svn seems not be an adequate solution.
But at least a quick hack .) Which are used way to often ,(
