Yes and yes it sucks. The "solution" is to build your own repo and set 
the right flags to always use the same LDAP client port. With binary 
packages and the speed of modern x86_64 systems I for one no longer see 
removing SASL support from OpenLDAP as useful enough to justify the 
complexity. Are there any reasons other than saved build time to disable 
this dependency (e.g. a bad security track record/process, different 
licenses)?
