Subversion Installation on HPUX 11i

Has anyone been able to get the Subversion to compile and work on HPUX 11i? I've been trying to build it with the purchased ANSI C compiler from HP.

It seems to compile however when I do a
"make check"
it seems to have issues with berkeley db and mmap.

I've googled and tried searching subversion.tigris.org with limited success.

The best I've found is someone in saying that subversion's use of Berkeley db will "flat out" not work on HPUX. This is because subversion uses multiple "sessions" to the repository. supposedly, mmap on HPUX can't deal with this situation.

Apparently there is a filesystem implementation called fsfs that avoids the use of BDB. But that is bleeding edge code which I am hesitant to use at the moment.
