I noticed that OpenSSL 1.1 now has an explicit dependency on Pthreads. Which means that now even our "non-threaded" libldap, when built with OpenSSL, must actually be linked with the threads library. In this age of multicore processors, is it really important to have a single-threaded LDAP library any more? Should we just make libldap_r become the standard library?
Using libldap_r as the standard library has been the default with many downstream linux distributions for years, so I think that's reasonable (and well tested at this point).

Similarly with Solaris, when we started shipping OpenLDAP as the supported libldap in our distribution, we have only ever shipped the libldap_r library. All of our libldap.*s files are just symlinks. As I recall, we started doing this back with the 2.4.30 release.
