How did you compile Samba ?

You seem to have lost a lot of the options :-)

on Debian 4.9.5, you get this:

ldbsearch --usage
Usage: [-?viraSNPeV] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-H|--url=URL] [-b|--basedn=DN]
        [-e|--editor=PROGRAM] [-s|--scope=SCOPE] [-v|--verbose] [--trace]
        [-i|--interactive] [-r|--recursive] [--modules-path=PATH]
        [--num-searches=INT] [--num-records=INT] [-a|--all] [--nosync]
        [-S|--sorted] [-o=OPTION] [--controls=STRING] [--show-binary]
        [--paged] [--show-deleted] [--show-recycled]
        [--show-deactivated-link] [--reveal] [--relax] [--cross-ncs]
        [--extended-dn] [-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL] [--debug-stderr]
        [-s|--configfile=CONFIGFILE] [--option=name=value]
        [-l|--log-basename=LOGFILEBASE] [--leak-report] [--leak-report-full]
        [-U|--user=[DOMAIN/]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]] [-N|--no-pass]
        [--password=STRING] [-A|--authentication-file=FILE]
        [-P|--machine-pass] [--simple-bind-dn=STRING] [-k|--kerberos=STRING]
        [--krb5-ccache=STRING] [-S|--sign] [-e|--encrypt]
        [-R|--name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER]
        [-O|--socket-options=SOCKETOPTIONS] [-n|--netbiosname=NETBIOSNAME]
        [-S|--signing=on|off|required] [-W|--workgroup=WORKGROUP]
        [--realm=REALM] [-i|--scope=SCOPE] [-m|--maxprotocol=MAXPROTOCOL]
        [-V|--version]

It looks like you have lost these:

Usage: [-NPeV]         
        [--reveal] [--relax] [--cross-ncs]
        [--extended-dn] [-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL] [--debug-stderr]
        [-s|--configfile=CONFIGFILE] [--option=name=value]
        [-l|--log-basename=LOGFILEBASE] [--leak-report] [--leak-report-full]
        [-U|--user=[DOMAIN/]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]] [-N|--no-pass]
        [--password=STRING] [-A|--authentication-file=FILE]
        [-P|--machine-pass] [--simple-bind-dn=STRING] [-k|--kerberos=STRING]
        [--krb5-ccache=STRING] [-S|--sign] [-e|--encrypt]
        [-R|--name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER]
        [-O|--socket-options=SOCKETOPTIONS] [-n|--netbiosname=NETBIOSNAME]
        [-S|--signing=on|off|required] [-W|--workgroup=WORKGROUP]
        [--realm=REALM] [-i|--scope=SCOPE] [-m|--maxprotocol=MAXPROTOCOL]
        [-V|--version]
