Yes, I was a bit surprised to see this patch pushed without checks about
what I guessed. I am not a user of those other platforms.

c992dca2 did not change anything about ldap packages. Are the ones
listed for RHEL and FreeBSD correct?

It could be an idea to mention that for those test suites Postgres needs
to be built with the appropriate --enable-XXX switches or they are just
skipped silently. Something in each README files across the lines is an
idea:
"This test suite requires PostgreSQL to be built with the configure
argument --enable-XXX or they are entirely skipped".
