(ITS#7809) cross-compiling and openldap-thread-check.m4

openldap-thread-check.m4 seems to hand-code an equivalent of AC_ARG_WITH()
processing for the with_yielding_select stuff. This code has at least one typo
and at least one bug; it does not work in the case where one is
cross-compiling.
Before I go and submit a patch that would convert this macro to using
AC_ARG_WITH, I figured I should ask to see why things were done the way they
were.

First of all thank you for your quick answer.
=20
Before I posted the question I've read the man pages several times trying t=
o understand how slapd-meta runs. I don't speak english very well (as you c=
an see) so it's probably that i've don't understand it completly.
=20
As I've tried to explain in my question=2C I used idassert-bind before and =
it runs ok=2C but I don't understand why I've to use an administrative acco=
unt to connect the proxy with the targets if I only want to passthrough the=
credentials of the user that was authenticated on the proxy. So I tried to=
use rebind-as-user thinking it was the solution but as you say this is for=
another use.
=20
Only for confirm what I'm doing. Is this the correct directive for what I'm=
trying to do?
idassert-bind mode=3Dself bindmethod=3Dsimple binddn=3D"cn=3Dadminuser=2Cou=
=3Dusers=2Cdc=3Dtest=2Cdc=3Dcom" credentials=3D"password of admin user"

I do not consider this to be a bug.
I'd vote for closing it as "won't fix".
