The minimal version as specified in the configure.ac file is 2.61 so
regenerating the configure script with an older version can break the
build.

I don't know much about RPM packaging but perhaps someone else can
comment.

This is interesting. Does the test fail every time? Attached is a
replacement for test_tio.c that is a little more verbose in the above
test.

I would be interested in finding the cause of the failing test and see
whether there is a bug somewhere.

The LDAP-specific tests should automatically be skipped if the test
environment that is described in tests/README is not detected.

The command in the spec file that runs the test is
make check
