Well, it's a mish-mash of NEXTSTEP, NetBSD, and FreeBSD, but...

Should just work with OpenLDAP 2.x, the only proviso being that if
you wish to build shared libraries you'll need to compile with
-fno-common.

Here's the top level makefile that I use to build OpenLDAP under
MacOS X (this sits in a directory _above_ the OpenLDAP
distribution):
