I can't answer the first part, but as to the second, you don't necessarily have to download the sources and build them, manually.
Instead,you can download the source rpms (.src.rpm)...you then "rpm -i xxx.src.rpm", and then, after modifying the spec file (if the spec file has an option for ldap), you can "rpm -ba xxxx.spec" and create a binary rpm with the options you want. This allows you to compile and still continue to make use of the rpm database, etc, to track packages.
