What makes you think this is an OpenLDAP issue? The error message clearly says 
sys_errlist.h was included from stdio.h - we have no control over that.

# It's possible (for near-UNIX clones) that sys_errlist doesn't exist
if test $ol_cv_dcl_sys_errlist = no ; then

above lines are from configure script , i don't want my binaries and
libraries do be dependent on the symbols of errlist and nerr .

As per mail trace "Re: How to get rid of sys_errlist and sys_nerr? -
OpenLDAP" , this issue seems to existing from long back. The solution
given is still not working.

not an openldap issue
