I'm going to provide a VM for you. The caveat is that the build
failures happen randomly with a probability less than 10%, so you will
need to build the package inside a for loop to get some build failures.
For completeness, I'm also putting all the failed build logs I keep
for subversion in trixie here:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202509/
There is one datail that might be relevant: I usually do archive
rebuilds with machines having 1 CPU and 2 CPUs. So far, subversion has
never failed when using 1 CPU and all the failures happened with 2 CPUs.
Not sure if this means something for you.
Thank you! I had to figure out how to make libtool even more verbose,
but have now reproduced and at least have the signature of what's
happening.

It appears that we're trying to compile
org_apache_subversion_javahl_util_ConfigImpl_Category.cpp
before org_apache_subversion_javahl_util_ConfigImpl_Category.h is fully
generated.
When the build fails, I can immediately run the same g++ command and it
succeeds.
I'll look into how the Make targets / prerequisites are defined.
Cheers,
