Which version of IRIX? Which compiler? Which version of OpenLDAP?

How bad are the type mismatches?  Do they differ in size? signness?
Does OpenLDAP compile and operate dispite the mismatches?

Exactly.  AC_CHECK_TYPE() looks in <sys/types.h> and, if STDC_HEADERS,
<stdlib.h> and <stddef.h>.  STDC_HEADERS being false is likely to
cause other problems as well.  config.log output for the STDC_HEADERS
test would be interesting.
