You are building two packages in one. "scons PREFIX=%{prefix} install
--install-sandbox=%{buildroot}" assumes that you will extract the files
installed to %{buildroot} to make a serf rpm, then use the -devel to build the
subversion one (at which point all paths with check out).
For reference:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/libserf/libserf.spec
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/subversion/subversion.spec
If you really want to use the serf built in the combined package, point
--with-serf= to the serf (source) build tree, not the (install) build root.
