No idea what this means. It is obviously ARM specific, not something
I am familiar with.

The configure script will check that it can use the LDAP and SSL
libraries by first compiling a C source file, then linking it 
to produce a working executable. This error means that the link
step failed.

Sometimes this is because the LDAP/SSL libraries need some additional
libraries to work, and these may not be added automatically to the
link.

You can try running the check by hand, like this:

	MAKE=make sh -x ./build/ldap.sh

(if your "make" utility is something other than "make", then adjust
the command accordingly).

This shows what commands are used during the check. There should be
two lines like this:
	OS=Linux LDAPINC=-I/usr/include make -f Makefile.test-ldap test-compile
	OS=Linux LDAPLIB=-L/usr/lib64 LDAPLBER=-llber make -f Makefile.test-ldap test-link
which are the actual commands used to try building the LDAP test
utility.
