I have a concern about this patch:

You left out the case where --enable_thread_safety is specified.
In that case, the frontend has to be linked with libldap_r.so
instead of libldap.so.

Does libldap_r.so _not_ require any extra libraries for linking?

If it does require extra libraries, are they the same as for the
thread-unsafe library (on Linux, that is the case)?

If libldap_r.so does require the same libs, please add $EXTRA_LDAP_LIBS
to the 'LDAP_LIBS_FE="-lldap_r"' line as well.

If libldap_r.so requires different additional libraries, a second
variable would be in place.

Could you test compiling with --enable_thread_safety ?
