They don't; they cheat and symlink:
root(at)testdb:/home/locadmin/postgresql-9.0.4# ls -l /usr/lib/libldap.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 2 14:48 /usr/lib/libldap.so
-> libldap.so.5

But there's no such libldap_r.so symlink created by default.

Yep, and I did that to get past the configure problems, which allows me to
encounter a whole new problem in make :^)

Is that safe to do on a server with a few dozen concurrent users?
