With a little help, OpenLDAP now builds and configures on Alpha.
The concurrency test fails though.

"A little help" means that I need
	CC=cc LIBS=-threads ./configure

(-threads must be the last command line option to cc.)

A bare `CC=cc ./configure' does not find the -threads option, even
though there seems to be a -threads test in it.  Without -threads,
configure falls back on -lpthreads and fails, so what I said about this
"Solaris bug" applies to Alpha as well:

   Consistent?  The have provided a thread package and manual pages on how
   to use it (with -mt).  It's not their fault that configure tries to use
   it in an undocumented way.
   
   Still, the configure test would have worked if it used all the options
   which configure itself has found that other programs need.  That is,
   -D_REENTRANT ... -lpthread in this case.


On OSF1 Alpha 3.2, `-threads' could be replaced with
   -D_REENTRANT ... -lpthreads -lmach -lexc -lc_r
but not with what configures does:
   -D_REENTRANT ... -lpthreads

Of course if configure chooses gcc, it does need all the options above.


Anyway, I suggest the error message

   configure: error: pthread.h and pthread_create are not compatible

is replaced with something like

   configure: error: pthread_create failed, probably you need to specify
                     threading options to cc by hand.  See `man cc'.


typescript and config.log are enclosed, in case you want configure to
find `-threads'.
