Ok, I recompiled the libmilter for sendmail on a spare machine with
the ldap stuff in the siteconfig for sendmail and it had the same
problem that milter-greylist had.  I added the -lldap -llber to the
configure file and it worked fine.  This looks like a problem that
needs to be taken up with sendmail since they are the ones putting in
the extra dependencies when sendmail is compiled to support ldap.  You
are probably correct that they should not be added to a static library
and they apparently are not needed to make libmilter work with ldap
since I am using a version of libmilter on 2 machines compiled without
ldap when sendmail itself is using ldap.  Anyway, I guess it is not
really a milter-greylist problem and I know how to get around it easy
enough.
