I just tried to emerge the new subversion 1.0 with "emerge -u /usr/portage/dev-util/subversion/subversion-1.0.0.ebuild --nodeps -v" (the nodeps flag is necessary because neon is masked) and I stops compiling with the error shown in the results panel ...

autoconf 2.58 has a bug. so you need to use 2.57 or 2.59.
Yes indeed - downgrading to autoconf-2.57-r1 resolved the problem. Additionally I removed the check for neon from the ebuild because I don't need the WEBDAV functionality (this is just as a little extra information). Greetz Stefan
