Yeah, sounds familiar.  Are you on a 64-bit architecture?

I have to patch the tarballs in THREE places to get it to compile on
64-bit arches.

1) Apply this patch to evolution-data-server.  This is a very old patch
   (as you can see below) and pre-dates my tenure, but I think the net
   effect is similar to what you're doing by hand.

2) The EVO_LDAP_CHECK m4 macro that lives in acinclude.m4 is not
   multilib-friendly, so we patch that to use /usr/lib64 when and where
   appropriate.  Crack open the evolution-exchange SRPM and look for:

   evolution-exchange-2.10.1-fix-64bit-acinclude.m4.patch

   I apply a similar patch to evolution-data-server as well.


3) There seems to be an LDAP linking order bug in Evolution-Exchange,
   which I reported as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443022
   along with a patch.  This one cropped up just recently, and appears
   to only cause problems for Fedora (so far).

Hope this helps.  Let me know how you fare.
