I found the cause. The Fedora Packaging Guidelines don't allow rpath:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Beware_of_Rpath
The snippet below in the spec file causes make test to fail:

%configure
sed -i 's|^hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=.*|hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=""|g' 
libtool
sed -i 's|^runpath_var=LD_RUN_PATH|runpath_var=DIE_RPATH_DIE|g' libtool

RHEL6/CentOS6's provided openldap RPM is required by a zillion packages 
so it can not be removed. To prevent the RE24 build from ever using the 
system openldap libs in /lib64 the solution seems to be to allow rpath 
in the RE24 build so the RE24 apps always use the RE24 libs in the 
$rpath location. Better solutions always welcome :-)

Hope this helps someone bumping into the same issue.
