Wow. Last year I built a test version of an alpha Samba4 and configured 
it to use an alternate base directory structure (/test/samba). I since 
removed that directory. The installer for the alpha build (I assume) 
created the file: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/samba4.conf with a pointer to 
/test/samba/lib. This file did not get updated when installing beta2. 
getent was trying to find winbindd using the old, removed library path. 
Once I updated /etc/ld.so.conf.d/samba4.conf to look in 
/usr/local/samba/lib and ran ldconfig, getent was happy.

Thanks Matthieu for the strace suggestion.
