make problem

[Jon Roberts <jon@mentata.com>]

I am trying to be a good openldap citizen by abandoning RPM's and 
rolling my own. I was able to get so far with the latest stable 
distribution (2.1.12), but it balks at make, with:

...

I checked the list archives, and somebody had the exact same problem 
last month, but got no (posted) response:

If you didn't believe him, you now have an n of 2. What's more, I have a 
totally different platform (RH linux 7.2), a slightly different 
environment, and different configure options. I used:

setenv CC gcc
setenv CFLAGS "-O -g"
setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/usr/include -Ddef"
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/lib"

and options:

--enable-crypt
--with-tls
--disable-bdb
--enable-ldbm
--with-ldbm-api=gdbm

I'm not at all familiar with the source yet, but it looks like it may be 
an issue with the variable 'slap_syntax_defs_rec'. Anybody have any ideas?
