how does libldap detection work in ./configure script?

I found a workaround.

I'm posting it here in case if anyone ever wanted to cross-compile Samba 
with LDAP support for Linux / mipsel / uclibc.


"lutil_memcmp" comes from OpenLDAP (2.3.18).

It is defined in openldap-2.3.18/include/ac/string.h

To get around this issue, you have to comment out lines 92-95 in that file:

/*#ifdef NEED_MEMCMP_REPLACEMENT
         int (lutil_memcmp)(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);
#define memcmp lutil_memcmp
#endif*/

Interestingly, it isn't used anywhere else.

Then, compile OpenLDAP once again, and Samba's ./configure (gcc really) 
script shouldn't complain again.

Of course, I don't know if it doesn't break things...
