Having worked around this issue by adding the missing symbol to the 
Lighttpd sources, I also found that the configure script expected to 
find certain functions in liblber which on OpenSolaris are defined in 
libldap. So I modified configure.in and rebuilt the configure script. 
Once past this it showed up a dependency on OpenLDAP extensions 
(LDAP_OPT_SUCCESS for one), something that Jyri warned me about when I 
set out on this path.

So for now I'll have to leave out LDAP support in the authentication 
module, unless anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks
