The help text in the configure script for OpenLDAP 2.4.16 states:

--enable-ndb enable MySQL NDB Cluster backend no|yes|mod [no] ... --enable-perl enable perl backend no|yes|mod [no]

Which indicate that, by default, the MySQL Cluster NDB and Perl back-ends will not be built. This is not the case. The system tries to configure those back-ends. The "make depend" completes normally, but the "make" aborts when trying to compile those back-ends. In the case of the Perl back-end, configure does not find the necessary headers and reports that fact, however it does not set flags to block compilation of that module.

On a separate identical machine, I did install the items necessary to build those back-ends. However, the system can't find the necessary headers even though they exist.

For NDB, one must install the "mysql-devel" RPM. However, the path for finding the headers isn't correct. On Fedora 10, the include path must include "-I/usr/include/mysql/ndb/ndbapi".

For Perl, one must install the "perl-devel" RPM, and the path for finding headers must include "-I/usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE".
