AFAIK you can adjust the .spec file and use "gdbm" (for GNU gdbm)
instead of "berkeley" (Berkeley-DB). Additionally, OpenLDAP
also has an SQL backend which seems to use an RDBMS.

Well, the C API is not really the problem AFAIK. I think the problem is
more the fact that OpenLDAP uses multithreading and there is some bad
interaction between OpenLDAP and DB here.
