Attempting to compile OpenLDAP (2.3.2beta or 2.2.24) results in the

These symbols are in libresolv. There are two solutions: either use
the BIND 8 resolver API or add -lresolve to the LDFLAGS. However, this
should be detected by the build system so it compiles out of the box.

Jason Townsend provided a patch, but it was rejected unequivocally
(see
<http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Build?id=2763;expression=lresolv;s
tatetype=-1>).

Actually, the ITS says it was applied to HEAD and RE22. I'm not sure why you think it was rejected.

Is building out of the box not a goal?

It builds out of the box for me just fine, as long as I follow the INSTALL documentation and set my build environment variables appropriately.

than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
