In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

  [ Thierry Carrez ]
  * debian/rules: Enable -DLDAP_CONNECTIONLESS to build CLDAP (UDP) support
    in the openldap library, as required by Likewise-Open (LP: #390579)

We thought you might be interested in doing the same.

I'm concerned by the need to set this via CFLAGS.  It may not have
performance or stability consequences (cf. the LP bug), but why is it not
exposed via ./configure?

UDP support is non-standard. There is no specification for it in LDAPv3 and
there never will be. Since there is no formal specification of how it should
function, there is no way to claim it works (correctly or not) therefore it is
officially unsupported.
