Michael,
I will try as you suggested and will compile the current versions of
openldap, python-ldap, cyrus-sasl, and openssl without any patches and
default options. I'll let you know how that turns out.
To respond to your point that you don't know what build options are
used, or what patches applied to binary distributions, here is what
the spec files I used to build openldap and python-ldap contained:
python-ldap only had one patch applied to it. I'll paste the patch
below, but the patch isn't the problem. I recompiled the python-ldap
RPM without any of the patches and ran into the same encoding error.
The packages was configured and built using the following two commands:
setup.py build
setup.py install --skip-build --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
($RPM_BUILD_ROOT being /var/tmp/python-ldap-2.3.5-root )
python-ldap-2.2.0-dirs.patch:
--- python-ldap-2.3.5/setup.cfg.dirs2008-07-06 11:04:13.0 -0400
+++ python-ldap-2.3.5/setup.cfg 2008-09-03 13:45:20.0 -0400

OpenLDAP was built with considerably more patches and the build
process is extremely involved.
The following flags are used in building:
CFLAGS=" -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE"
The OpenLDAP package RPM builds its own version of BerkeleyDB which it
builds like so:
configure -C \
--with-pic \
--disable-static \
--enable-shared \
--with-uniquename=_openldap_slapd_46 \
--prefix=${dbdir} \
--includedir=${dbdir}/include \
--libdir=${dbdir}/%{_lib}${subdir:+/${subdir}}
make %{_smp_mflags} libdb_base=libslapd_db libso_base=libslapd_db
make install libdb_base=libslapd_db libso_base=libslapd_db strip="false"
OpenLDAP is configured and made with the following flags:
configure \
--with-threads=posix \
--enable-local --enable-rlookups \
--with-tls \
--with-cyrus-sasl \
--enable-wrappers \
--enable-passwd \
--enable-cleartext \
--enable-crypt \
--enable-spasswd \
--enable-lmpasswd \
--enable-modules \
--disable-sql \
--libexecdir=%{_libdir} \
$@
make %{_smp_mflags} LIBTOOL="$libtool"
The openldap clients are build using:
build \
--disable-slapd \
--enable-shared \
--enable-dynamic \
--enable-static \
--without-kerberos \
--with-pic
If there's any information you need to figure out what's going, let me
know and I'll be happy to grab it for you.
