Getting far into digression here, but this is another reason to switch to the nssov / nss-pam-ldapd model. Remove libldap from PAM/NSS and a lot of these linking issues disappear.

Yes, amen to that. I'm *really* happy with that work, both for that reason and just for significant simplification of all sorts of linking issues. I'm not sure if it's enough to resolve the problems that Debian runs into due to the pile of GPL'd software that wants to link with the LDAP libraries, but it certainly resolves the problem enough that it might be on the table at some point, and even apart from that, it's simply a much better model.

So thank you very much to everyone who's been involved.
