My guess is that you need to keep in mind that autoconf (./configure) 
itself is influenced by many variables that you might not typically expect 
to be read by a shell script; see the INSTALL file for details. And of 
course there can be more sinister things going on...I don't use back-perl 
myself, but I know that lots of perl things are affected by MakeMaker, 
which in turn is affected by the compile environment of your perl 
interpreter, which is probably not something in the front of your mind 
(and might have been done by your vendor, not even yourself).

Everything we know about building OpenLDAP on Solaris is at:

http://cvs.rutgers.edu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/SPECS/openldap24.spec

There are some non-obvious gems (you knew to request direct binding to the 
dynamic linker, of course?) and some irrelevant-to-the-world local mods 
(SLAPD_EPASSWD is a deprecated local define from before there were 
password modules...that's a *LONG* time ago)...pick and choose what you 
will if you look through that.
