Granted, the Sun C compiler is known to optimize code for UltraSPARC*
processors much better than gcc. Also, gcc still has issues compiling
64-bit sparc code on Solaris while Sun's cc did it well for years
(starting with version 5.0) I have compiled compiled older Samba
versions with Sun's cc with no problems, so may be, it's just winbind
code that wasn't tested with other compilers yet..
