These calls are deprecated, even thouth that's undocumented except with
ldap_init.  To get them back, do

#define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1
before #include <ldap.h>

or use the _ext versions of the calls.  Likely you should in any case
replace ldap_init with the more flexible ldap_initialize(), which allows
you to pass an LDAP URL and check error codes on failure.

You can remove the extern "C" {}, the ldap.h header itself takes care of
that.  And note that it doesn't mean anything gets compiled with gcc,
or that C syntax is valid inside the {}, just that the functions are
C functions and not subject to C++ name mangling etc.
