There are changes in libldap and slapd-ldap related to TLS which might
not work correctly with GnuTLS.

So could you try to first link with OpenSSL? If that works it would mean
that the GnuTLS support needs some more work.

BTW: During the last days Quanah and me investigated an issue with a
(now reverted) patch for libldap only occuring with dhcpd using libldap.
ldapsearch and many other LDAP clients were working just fine.

Ciao, Michael.
