Looking in openldap-2.4.10/libraries/liblber/lber-int.h:94 i see :
#define LBER_VALID(ber) ((ber)->ber_valid=3D=3DLBER_VALID_BERELEMENT)
the assertion fails for some reason.

Could you make a proper reinstallation of the openldap related packages (op=
enldap-client and possibly -devel),
remove the manual symbolic link, and try to ./configure again?

You might change the --with-libs or --with-include part to match wherever y=
our ldap client installation is located.

Also, for the moment, drop the rest of --with- arguments, until you have a =
working postgresql with ldap,
and you'll go gradually from there.

Unfortunately i do not have a Solaris system to test.
