What about the shared libs?  I once built openldap with shared libs
using a really ugly trick, but probably there's a more "official"
way to get the same result.

What I did:

$ ./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --libexecdir='$(prefix)/sbin' \
        --localstatedir=/var \
        --datadir='$(prefix)/share' \
        --mandir='$(prefix)/share/man' \
        --infodir='$(prefix)/share/info' \
        --enable-dynamic \
        --enable-shared=yes \
        --with-gnu-ld \
        --without-pic \
        --enable-modules \
        --enable-crypt \
        --enable-wrappers \
        --disable-ipv6
$ make depend

Then I replaced libtool in the toplevel directory with the one from
the libtool-devel-1.5-3 package.  Next I applied the following patch:

--- /usr/autotool/devel/bin/libtool     2003-08-18 07:36:04.001000000 +0200
+++ libtool     2003-09-25 22:35:13.892495700 +0200

       ;;
     *)
       allow_undefined=yes

Then I called `make' and openldap has been built with shared libs.
