I noticed that OpenSSL 1.1 now has an explicit dependency on Pthreads. Which means that now
even our "non-threaded" libldap, when built with OpenSSL, must actually be linked with the
threads library. In this age of multicore processors, is it really important to have a single-threaded
LDAP library any more? Should we just make libldap_r become the standard library?
