This feature has long been obsolete, remaining only in the hope
that it might be revived in the future.
Specifically, in 2011 the S4 OpenLDAP backend HOWTO was removed:

Remove outdated S4 OpenLDAP backend HOWTO.
There is a project to revive this, hosted here:
https://github.com/Symas/samba
and

However discussions at SambaXP with Nadezhda Ivanova
indicate a new approach with slapd being started by Samba
and taught to read native Samba ldb files is more likely
in the short term.
This has the advantage that Samba's provision and offline
tooling would not need to change, with the solution looking
more like how BIND9_DLZ has access to the Samba DB.
If any of this is required then reverting these patches will be
the least of the difficulties in bringing this to production.
