Hi.
Without posting what/how it fails i don't think helping will be easy.
I'd say you try with buildroot (http://www.buildroot.net) i usually
maintain samba/samba4 packages and just tried samba3 for an emulated arm
target (qemu-arm-versatile) which works just fine.
Just use an internal uclibc toolchain with static=on (latest buildroot
git master i'd suggest since many static build fixes were done lately).
Didn't try with samba4 itself, that'll probably be a challenge and it
will be big, very big.
I can provide you with the qemu disk image and/or a tarball so you can
fetch the binaries if you feel that's faster than building yourself, but
really it's a pretty standard configuration.
Regards.
