The -O2 -fPIC tells me you're compiling on x86_64... and the existence
of /usr/lib/libldap.so tells me you have multilib installed. The problem
is that you're building a 64-bit php, and it's trying to link a 32-bit
library, which won't and can't ever work.

Most likely you can get by with adding LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64" at the
front of the configure command (before the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS that
should already be there).

If not, the more extreme measure is this:

mv /usr/lib /usr/lib.backup
./php.SlackBuild
mv /usr/lib.backup /usr/lib

If all else fails, build your package on a pure x86_64 host, without
multilib, and copy it over & install it on your multilib box.
