Thanks. Florian is right, the idea is to make changes to the source code (probably a downstream patch will be needed) such that the threaded library will be built twice, once with libldap soname and once with libldap_r soname, and the non-threaded libldap won't be shipped at all. The non-threaded version basically provides a subset of capabilities of the threaded version, which are additionally thread safe (i.e. mutexes). There shouldn't be really any noticeable change.
