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 thisage 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?
Using libldap_r as the standard library has been the default with manydownstream linux distributions for years, so I think that's reasonable(and well tested at this point).

Similarly with Solaris, when we started shipping OpenLDAP as thesupported libldap in our distribution, we have only ever shipped thelibldap_r library. All of our libldap.*s files are just symlinks. As Irecall, we started doing this back with the 2.4.30 release.
