Autofs requires to be compiled with -DLDAP_DEPRECATED on x86_64
platforms when linked against openldap >= 2.3, otherwise it
automatically triggers a segfault in openldap library during
initialisation (more exactly, in ldap_set_option() call from
do_connect() in lookup_ldap.c).

OpenLDAP maintainers suggest to either use this flags automatically
during compilation, or to change autofs code to use newest API.
