Samba 4 provision error in recent git

[Gianni L]

hi,
you have to add --targetdir=<some directory> to bypass this error
'cause it seems not to use the default /usr/local/samba dir during the
provision
I think it's definitely a little buggy in the provision script or a
problem with the installed python.
it happened to me too yesterday on a fresh centos 6.2 installation.
regards
Gianni
