Isn't there a way to tell that in the ./configure script
(--enable-shared[=PKGS] or something ?)
If I really need to do that manually do I simply remove
"BUILD_LIBS_DYNAMIC = static" from :
[root@corbeau /usr/local/src/openldap-2.1.8/servers/slapd]
$ vi Makefile

?
I'am very use to libtool :-( , thanks for your help .

How did you do it yourself ? perhaps you hadn't the problem ?
