Right, well, the hint is that the function complaining here is lt_dlopenext, 
which most likely is a function from libtool's libltdl library. I'm guessing 
that ET_DYN and ET_EXEC are types of files that libltdl is prepared to load 
as a plugin, and that your smbk5pwd.so.0 doesn't qualify as one of these.

You may want to run:

file /usr/lib/ldap/smbk5pwd.so.0

I get:
/usr/lib64/openldap/smbk5pwd.so.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, 
version 1 (SYSV), stripped

For further information, you should probably consult the libtool docs, or the 
people who provided your OpenLDAP build.
