Why do we have to add another configure option?  It takes forever to gid 
rid of these things.  If a package maintainer kno9ws that glibc is ok on 
their platform, then they can patch the source (samba).  That's what linux 
distros do anyways.

I really want to revert this change but will wait to see if other people
agree.

Sorry.  I should have spoken up in response to your original mail.
