Definitely a pysvn bug:

[GCC 4.7.1 20120814 (prerelease)] on linux2

Looks like there were changes to Source/setup_configure.py between 1.7.5 and 1.7.6, and now the -llibrary arguments are in the wrong position when linking. Attaching a debdiff to fix the build. Should probably be forwarded upstream.
