OK, I think my earlier conclusion was faulty, because configure should
fail to link the LDAP libraries when it runs its tests, and either
switch off ADS or fail altogether.

I notice that you have site configuration file defined. Why did you do
that? What do you have in that file? I suspect you ran into problems
initially and tried to fix them with a site config file, but that has
not helped.

In addition, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not of much use in a cross compilation
environment. LD_FLAGS is closer to correct, however, if you want to
use shared libraries on the target (which you might do because of
limited space in flash) that is not the correct way, and in any event,
libtool has bugs when it comes to shared libraries on the target in a
cross compilation environment (or at least it did when I was building
this stuff and more around a year ago).
