php 8.4.21 no longer reads from "C:\openldap\sysconf\ldap.conf"

Hi,

today we upgraded php from 8.4.20 to 8.4.21 and noticed, that ldap_bind against an ldap server failed.

Tracing the php.exe process via procmon, we noticed that 8.4.21 no longer reads C:\openldap\sysconf\ldap.conf. We have such a file installed with some custom options.

It appears, the new version only tries to read ldaprc file (https://www.openldap.org/software//man.cgi?query=ldap.conf).

Seeing that there has been recent activity in this repository with an update from 2.4.47 to 2.6.13, I suspect that php 8.4.21 was linked against this newer openldap version 2.6.13 which somehow changed its behaviour.

As a workaround, we defined a system environment variable "LDAPCONF" and pointed it at our ldap.conf file.

@mbiebl Thanks for reporting this regression, I have fixed it in winlibs/winlib-builder@552ccd7. Next set of releases should not have this issue.
