In the C API, ldap_get_option and LDAP_OPT_HOST_NAME provide access to
the host name of the default ldap server. Is there any way to access
the default base dn?

LDAPv3 servers have a namingContext operational attribute in their rootDSE. You should use this to get the (list of) base dn held by the server.
