OpenLDAP support is an absolute mess and is not handled well here. samba asks for a SASL-enabled OpenLDAP, but the mandatory ldb dependency brings in non-SASL OpenLDAP. The ADS knob also brings in OpenLDAP but never tells you about it.

Until this is properly fixed, you'll need to disable both the LDAP and ADS options.
