I've seen that one before. When you building Samba on AIX, you have to configure
as root, otherwise configure won't set the HAVE_TRAPDOOR_UID flag in
source/includes/config.h.

If you don't want to configure as root, you can edit config.h and set the flag
there; I think that's the only flag that doesn't get set correctly.
