I have recently cross-compiled OpenLDAP for MinGW32 on Mac OS X. In so doing, I
discovered the following platform-specific issue.
The executables on Win32 have a .exe extension, so slapd does not detect the
tool names and act accordingly. Consequently, slapadd, slaptest, etc. all act
the same as slapd!
I solved the problem by patching main.c as follows:
diff -ru --exclude=Makefile openldap-2.4.10/servers/slapd/main.c
openldap/servers/slapd/main.c

Obviously this exact fix is not appropriate, because it will break every other
platform, but I am not sure of the appropriate preprocessor directive to use to
address this, as I guess it would also break a cygwin build, and should only be
done for a MinGW32 build. However, it would be helpful to fix with an
appropriate conditional!
I couldn't find a mention of this in your tracker so reporting it now.
