The static version isn't needed, it's just an error/bug in the
subversion source configuration. Had you unpacked a recent openSUSE
.src.rpm and looked into subversion.spec you'd have seen that one of
the patches we apply is subversion-1.5.x-no-neon-la.patch that
contains:

-            NEON_LIBS=`$neon_config --la-file`
+            NEON_LIBS=`$neon_config --libs`

So edit build/ac-macros/neon.m4 and make the same change and you
should be able to compile subversion 1.5.5.

As a general rule: before complaining that openSUSE lacks something
for compiling a package that we also provide, please look into the
spec file of our .src.rpm. Chances are rather good that our source
RPMs contain patches that fix the problem.
