I think you missed the point.  Reinstalling ls from broken sources
wasn't going to help.  He needed subversion to update his tree so he
could build a working ls, but he needed a working ls to build
subversion.  The simplest solution would have been either

# export PATH=/rescue:$PATH

or

# ln -f /rescue/ls /bin/ls

which would have allowed him to build subversion.
