2.0.x defaults (prefers) to build with OpenLDAP and you need to fiddle
with the APR headers (as you showed) to get it to build with anything
else.

OpenLDAP now supports SSL (ldaps) so I would encourage you to use it in
conjunction with OpenSSL. You should build the latest OpenLDAP version
(2.23 or something) and you can disable all the server side daemon stuff
(--disable-slapd --disable-slurpd) and just build the libs and includes.

Then use the directives --with-ldap, --with-ldap-dir=<openladp dir> to
build HTTPD with LDAP.
