You have probably left the linking or debugging symbols in your
executable. Try using '-s' at the link stage, or running strip(1) on
the binary. You could also run size(1) on the binaries of ldapsearch
and your own program to compare the real code sizes.
Another possibility is that you have compiled your program for
debugging or profiling, but ldapsearch is built with different
options. Try building your program without '-g'.

It is very unusual these days for any program not to use dynamic
libraries. Perhaps this is part of your problem. ldd(1) will tell you
what dynamic libraries are required by a given binary.
