OpenLDAP source code is released as a single unit. This situation is no different than building slapd itself against libldap_r. If you split things apart and mix versions, you can potentially break them.
Would it be possible to install the mdb_* tools by default with a standard OpenLDAP build/install, so they don't have to be built and packaged separately either?
If the tools built from OpenLDAP sources depend on a specific library version (I assume they do) then one would have to use another path prefix when installing them.
Hmm, in the long run I'd like to see a single liblmdb being installed with the accompanying tools system-wide just like the BDB libs/tools. I understand that this would limit the freedom of developing/shipping an OpenLDAP-specific "fork" in the OpenLDAP sources.
