Okay, I'll close this configure issue.

As far as the test issue goes, your welcome to submit a
separate ITS.  Please provide a stack traceback from
ldapsearch.

Sorry, no.  We assume that the installer environment was purposely
setup such the compiler and other tools work as the installer expects
them to.  To muck with the installer's environment would deny the
installer the control over the configuration process.

A Kernel/System Library/Compiler tool chain mismatch might
cause this.  This is only initial guess and is meant to
aid you in investigating the issue further.

Linux 2.4, 5 years, sure.

Looks to me like you are running a pre-release system or
have on your own replaced the kernel, libraries, and/or compiler
tool chain provided with Slackware releases.  Hence my initial
guess.  I've guessed wrong before and could be guessing wrong
here.
