I have had partial success.  Specifically, I can build everything except
for the servers (i.e., clients and libraries).  Since, I was only really
interested in the libraries, I did not pursue it further.  Although, I
think that the main issue is the lack of full Cygwin pthreads support --
which I think that you have already noticed.

Since then I have learned of GNU Portable Threads:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/pth.html

which can be built as pthreads.  This may or may not work for you in
this context.  It did seem to work to add threading to Cygwin Python as
indicated in:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-10/msg00805.html

Attached is my recipe for building OpenLDAP including a script to deal
with a case sensitivity issue in too many makefiles to hand edit.  May be
you or someone else will find it helpful.

Let me know if you get the servers to work.

Thanks,
Jason
