IIUC, the only benefit (and a great one) to yet another ldap shared
library (whether mod_foo or in apr) is if there is a complete
abstraction, such that only one shared library binds to libldap* and
that one shared library can be switched out to switch client libraries
and libldap* symbol use doesn't leak between different functional
areas.

Is there some other possibility?
