Quite sure.  I unpacked the 2.0.11 distribution from ftp.openldap.org into 
a new directory, did "make distclean" just for good measure, then 
"./configure --without-threads --disable-dynamic; make depend; make".  Same 
error.  Likewise: clean directory, "autoconf; ./configure 
--disable-dynamnic --without-threads; make depend; make".

Were you on a 10.0.3 machine at 4P13?  Maybe Apple broke something recently.

I'm doing this on an hfs+ filesystem, not ufs; you?  I know that filenames 
are case-insensitive on hfs+ (eek!), which has just _got_ to cause a 
problem somewhere along the line.  (I have a can with a 4GB drive in it.  I 
can newfs a ufs to rule that out.  Unless it's /usr that matters.  Hmmmm.)

I may try some older releases (now that I have an external fan pointing at 
the Wallstreet), just to see what happens.  I've been running 2.0.7 in 
other places (Solaris 8/SPARC) with no serious trouble -- not that I use it 
very hard.  Anything in that range would do for what I need right now, if I 
could just get it to compile.

I'll put config.status and make.out in ftp://folderol.jlw.com/pub/jxh, as 
soon as it finishes again.  If you could take a look to see where we 
diverge, I'd be most grateful.
