build.log for openldap-2.4.35-r1

Both of the latest builds marked stable for ppc (openldap-2.4.35-r1 and openldap-2.4.38-r2) error out when they get to the libaddrdnvalues-plugin:

 * Building contrib-module: addrdnvalues plugin

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture ppc

I've researched the plug-in and its components searching for possible fixes but have not turned up anything. Any clues here are greatly appreciated.

PS: This is a Gentoo Prefix set up I am working with.

This bug can be retired.

I've been informed by the openldap team that the plugin I mention here is deprecated; In attempting to install the latest version of openldap, which pulls in lmdb, I've submitted the bug I've found for PPC directly to them.

[Comment 2 DIZ 2015-01-23 16:58:44 UTC]

Wait! I'm back.

I received this:

"Just a note:

LMDB should not be pulled separately from OpenLDAP.  I.e., only the bundled version of LMDB should be used with a given version of OpenLDAP."

Is there a reason that openldap pulls in lmdb?

[Comment 3 DIZ 2015-01-23 17:21:35 UTC]

Nevermind. My sincere apologies. I see the reverse dependency in the build.

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2015-04-26 09:41:38 UTC]

so what exactly is the (remaining) problem for this bug?

[Comment 5 DIZ 2015-04-26 09:51:58 UTC]

That this plugin is not needed, yet the ebuild includes it:

___
Appears to be a bug in gentoo's build rules for this plugin. The 
OpenLDAP Project doesn't supply build rules for this plugin, so there's 
nothing for us to fix here. Closing this ITS.

Note that the function of this particular plugin was superseded long 
ago, there's no reason to even build it.

This bug on this platform is obsolete and not worth fixing.
