When I first tried to compile python-ldap it behaved exactly like this.
Actually I do have a workaround, but it is not anchored in the autoconf
scripts, so you have to do it by hand.

I startet vi on configure, skipped to line 1403 and replaced

LIBS="$ac_func_search_save_LIBS"

with

LIBS="$ac_func_search_save_LIBS -lldap -lresolv"

After rerunning configure and make everything worked as it should.

This should do. libldap.so is after that recognized as "not needed", but
do not worry about, because it still links correctly.
