Hi Philip, You where quite right! the /usr/local/bin/strip program is to blame...
I have both /usr/local/bin and /usr/css/bin in my $PATH (and in that order).
I renamed /usr/local/bin/strip to /usr/local/bin/strip.broken so that "which strip" now finds /usr/css/bin/strip
I did the make install again and now all the /usr/local/bin/ldap* binaries are much smaller (sizes as I would expect), and /usr/local/bin/ldapsearch now does exactly what I want...
I see from my documentation that my /usr/local/bin/strip comes from installing GNU binutils, version 2.17, which i installed Apr 18 2007, just 2 days after I installed my previous openldap (version 2.3.32)
/usr/local/bin/strip although has the same date and bytesize now as it had a year ago (I record files changed in /usr/local directories after installing new packages) (and my $PATH also did not change in the last year, /usr/local/bin always was before /usr/css/bin..) I have many other software installed after GNU binutils, never had that problem ... ... quite strange ..
Never thought a GNU distributed set of tools could contain a broken program ... ??!?

I noticed a big difference in size between: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 457772 Apr 28 09:02 ./clients/tools/ldapsearch and -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1023664 Apr 28 09:27 /usr/local/bin/ldapsearch
All the clients tools have that same size difference between the compiled versions in ./openldap-2.3.39/clients/tools/ldap* and the ones in /usr/local/bin/ldap*
Sounds like the 'strip' program that you're using is broken. What's the output of "which strip"? If it's _not_ /usr/ccs/bin/strip, then try moving /usr/ccs/bin to the front of your path and redo the install. If that fixes it, then REMOVE the broken strip program.
