When trying to build Samba from source I got the following error upon
make install. I realize I should have done this as root but I'm
reporting an issue with the error reporting.

NameError: global name 'Errors' is not defined
Investigating a bit I find that Errors didn't exist and that WafError
existed in the same module. So taking the namespace off that error I
got:

This suggests a mis-merge rather than a typo in:

Update the copy of waf to current 1.5
After making the update, this commit reverts the upstream addition
of
LDVERSION support in Python.py, which is necessary for Python 3
support in waf. This change conflicts with the last remaining
Samba-specific change in waf to help with cross-compilation.

Bringing waf up to date appears to fix the issue.
