These don't need to be there.  The shared library versioning is meant to
have no effect on how you need to compile applications.

These should be in openldap-devel, along with libldap.so.

I'd think that's of dubious value, but glibc provides similar links for
the NSS modules it includes, so not having them in nss_db is a bug.

This is in /usr/%{_lib}, even if the library lives under /%{_lib}.  It
can't be in /%{_lib} because the linker doesn't search that directory
for libraries when you link applications (per "gcc -print-search-dirs").

The shared library to which this link would point is a compat package.
