Built 2.4.41 on Solaris 9; ran 'make check' which failed to start slapd with the following errors:
Thanks for the report. Not sure that it's worth our taking any action though. The last release of Solaris 9 was 10 years ago, and it has been end-of-life'd by Oracle.

In short it means Solaris 9 is no longer eligible for any Oracle updates including security updates, fixes, patches or any other changes. Solaris 9 went into sustaining support in October 2014.
Since Oracle is no longer providing any patches for this OS, I don't see much reason for us to either. Fortunately you are free to patch and build OpenLDAP for yourself for as long as you wish.
