Not a problem, actually.
The RA layer knows that ra_dav was linked in, and that ra_local is *not*
linked in. Thus, it attempts to load it dynamically since the DSO facilities
are available in APR.
The --disable-shared switch controls whether shared libraries are *built*.
It doesn't control whether SVN will attempt to find RA modules that were not
linked into the app.

Hmm? What is printing that warning? I don't see any code in ra_loader.c that
would do that.

Hmm. That does seem to be a problem. Could you file an issue about that?

The APR library is not allowed to use stderr. The only thing you can do is
return errors.
