GPFS header files (and the definitions in them) can change between major
GPFS releases and even across PTFs. So it is some kind of impossible to
include the "correct" header files in the Samba tree.
You should always recompile Samba after updating GPFS to a newer PTF or
major release to make sure Samba uses the correct definitions.
Cheers,
