Just off the top of my head (I'm trying to get out of the office!),
you can set the environment variable SLAPD_DEBUG before the 'make test'
and that will cause slapd to be started with whatever debug level you
like.  Go for broke, 65535 (other postings suggest that -1 will work
as well).  Then look in test-db for master.log, which be a log of slapd.
Other log files appear there as well, and by modifying scripts/defines.sh
you can set debug flags on calls to ldif2ldbm, for example.

I have 1.2.10+ some updates (I follow the OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_1_2 branch),
and 'make' in the tests directory works just fine on Alpha OSF.  Don't
be trying to do any production work on the latest stuff (2.x), it's
not released yet.
