OK, this is Solaris so there isn't an openldap-client or openldap-devel;
there's only SUNWopenldap, which I installed.

OK.

Well, dropping the rest of --with- arguments leaves me with:

./configure \
--with-ldap \
--with-libs=/usr/lib/amd64 \
--with-libs=/usr/sfw/lib/amd64 \
--with-includes=/usr/include/openldap

Which just gives a config error:
checking for ldap_simple_bind in -lldap_r... no
configure: error: library 'ldap_r' is required for LDAP

I'm pretty sure this is a Solaris-specific set of problems, starting with
the fact that instead of libldap_r.so it's got libldap_r-2.4.so and the
configure script can't sort that out even though nm shows that
ldap_r-2.4.so does in fact have the function it's griping about
(ldap_simple_bind) in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
