Like LTB seems to do.

The problem here is you are trying to mix and match.  We've never defined an 
ABI, we defined an API.  Extensions should be built in tree.

Your mistake, me thinks, was asking the packager to distribute private 
headers... what you should have asked was for them to distribute the module 
built from within their OpenLDAP source tree.   If they turn you down, then 
switch packagers or become one yourself (build everything).
