FWIW I've built (and am running in production) 2.3.34 using Buchan's 
2.3.24 spec as is, out of the box, on RHAS4 by just changing "%define 
version 2.3.34" in the spec:

rpmbuild -ba openldap.spec --target i686-linux --without test

Buchan has his own philosophy about running OpenLDAP on RHAS/RHEL 
without conflicting with existing Red Hat OpenLDAP stuff, and it is as 
well to gen up on that before beginning any build. My experience is that 
his design is (almost ;)) perfect.

Also worth pointing out is, that one *has* to get the 
/etc/rpm/macros.mdk4rh rpm macros first, as pointed out in the spec 
file, or the build will barf before beginning.

Best,
