Such platforms do exist... but I don't recall which...
nor do have any basis for determining whether or not
OpenLDAP is used on such platforms.

The problems usually are slight differences in function
prototypes, etc., which cause compilation warnings
and/or errors.

It might be appropriate to design a configure test to
determine if both are needed.
