I would love to see a successful Android build of svn client (and/or of
a svn server).
Just to set your expectations: as far as I am aware, nobody has
previously been talking about it here.
(The only FOSS Android svn client I know of is the still functioning but
primitive and long-abandoned "OASVN" [1][2] which, IIRC is built on (an
old version of) SvnKit rather than on the svn C libraries.)

I have the toolchain properly set up, I think, but
I'm getting a strange error during `./configure`:
```
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... configure: error: /bin/bash
build/config.sub --prefix=/_install/armeabi-v7a/subversion failed
configure: WARNING: cache variable ac_cv_host contains a newline
```
Seems likely we should be able to diagnose that.
I'm not sure how to interpret this error message. Here is how I'm
running the configure command:
```
./configure --host --prefix=/_install/armeabi-v7a/subversion
--with-zlib=/_install/armeabi-v7a/zlib
```
Don't you need to specify "--host=<SOMETHING>" rather than just "--host"?
Yes... My quick test on Linux gives the same error you see. It is
interpreting "--prefix=/_install/armeabi-v7a/subversion" as the host
name argument to the "--host" option. :-)
