I've put a patch into the tree that should fix the issue for you. 

We were experimenting with using a linker option -Wl,--as-needed that
matches the default behaviour of Gentoo.  However since we enabled the
build of Samba3 binaries in the top level build a few weeks ago, it has
caused problems on a number of hosts.  The exact hosts and problems
seems to come down to library link orders, and is related to the fact
that our implementation of build rules for this code is not finished
(due to circular and other challenging dependency issues).

I am sorry for the frustration this has caused, and we will resolve
these properly before we re-enable this option.  Unfortunately users on
Gentoo will continue to experience these issues until then, as this flag
is on by default on that platform.
