Yes.  It appears to be a bug in msys or the MozillaBuild msys - it does 
not turn -L into /LIBPATH: when converting the unix style linker 
arguments into the MS VC++ style.  Note that it does correctly convert 
-I to /I and it correctly converts the other arguments - not sure why it 
has a problem with -L -> /LIBPATH:

Do you have to do a make install or make dist or something like that to 
generate ldap-standard.h?
