Hmmm ....

The Oracle documentation avers that "-lldap" ought to be sufficient;
see for example ldap_simple_bind page in
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19963-01/pdf/821-1466.pdf
and even without that evidence it's hard to believe that they'd expect
calling applications to hardwire a library version number into their
build scripts.

So I'm pretty sure that there *should* be a libldap_r.so someplace.
You could possibly try symlinking that to the version-numbered library.

If all else fails you could --disable-thread-safety.
