I was a bit too fast with my assessment of your situation, sorry.
You are right, this looks like a problem in Subversion's configure script.
It assumes that APR uses "d", "ld" or "lld" for this format string which
is now a wrong assumption.
As a workaround, try setting the svn_cv_pycfmt_apr_int64_t environment
variable manually before running the configure script:
export svn_cv_pycfmt_apr_int64_t="L"
