I also tried compiling the entire package, unmodified, with /usr/bin/gcc
pointing to gcc-4.1. It compiled without a hitch, and ldapmodify works
without segfaulting slapd.

At this point, I throw up my hands and call it a compiler bug (very
comforting, no? :-) ); as GCC 4.1 will be the default in Debian from
tomorrow, this problem will probably be solved by issuing a binNMU for arm.
