You may run into other issues *ominousness*.

Without _XOPEN_SOURCE, solaris doesn't always expose a POSIX compliant API or work
in a POSIX compliant way.

I'd try and find the right _XOPEN_SOURCE value that allows the server to build and use
that. You'll find the server probably builds with more optional things

There's no huge difference between -isystem and -I, -isystem just disables warnings
generated by system headers.

The problem is, it's peppered throughout a bunch of the configure scripts now so it's
annoying to check/fix.

Solaris' compiler is the only mainstream compiler that doesn't support it. Even Intel's
does.

That'd be why. I was trying to get it to build against the built-in ones. There's
RFC 1823 which defines a common API for all libldap implementations. Unfortunately
rlm_ldap uses some OpenLDAP specific functions.

Due to some recent interactions with the OpenLDAP guys i'm actually quite keen to get
rlm_ldap building against other LDAP libraries.
