Hi,

I'm the powerdns maintainer for Fedora and Fedora EPEL. There's no 
problem then rebuilding pdns-3.1-2.el6.src.rpm on CentOS 6.4 with mock/koji.

Please check:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/pdns/3.1/2.el6/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

checking for ldap_set_option in -lldap_r... yes
checking for ldap_initialize in -lldap_r... yes

The same result on my local CentOS 6.4 build server running mock -r 
epel-6-x86_64 --rebuild pdns-3.1-2.el6.src.rpm.

As you can see there is no problem with the ldap library for 
CentOS/RHEL. That's probably a problem on your build server.

Best regards,

Morten
