I did a quick hack for this, and the configure test still fails ...
(with samba 2.2.0-alpha0)

(But I don't really know if my kernel really supports LFS ... its
2.4.0-test6, when did they add it to the 2.4 base ?)

I did just change the default false to default true on linux (as
I said .. quick and dirty hack .. just to see if it works ;)
