Trying to build statically linked nss-winbind & pam-winbind

[Louis Bouchard]

Hello,

I am working in fixing Ubuntu[1] and Debian[2] bugs occuring when upgrading the
libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind packages.

One option is to provide those libraries as statically linked to avoid ABI
breakage when upgrading. This has happened when commands were expecting the old
library while the new one is in place.

I have been investigating the use and possible enhancement of the
--nonshared-binary to be able to build a non-shared library, but for now, I am
simply unable to even build a non-shared binary. I also fail to build static
modules using the following WAF configuration :

>  --prefix=/usr \
> --enable-fhs \
> --sysconfdir=/etc \
> --localstatedir=/var \
> --with-privatedir=/var/lib/samba/private \
> --with-smbpasswd-file=/etc/samba/smbpasswd \
> --with-piddir=/var/run/samba \
> --with-pammodulesdir=/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/security \
> --with-pam \
> --with-syslog \
> --with-utmp \
> --with-pam_smbpass \
> --with-winbind \
> --with-static-modules=ALL \
> --nonshared-binary=smbtree \
> --with-automount \
> --with-ldap \
> --with-ads \
> --with-dnsupdate \
> --libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
> --with-modulesdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/samba \
> --datadir=/usr/share \
> --with-lockdir=/var/run/samba \
> --with-statedir=/var/lib/samba \
> --with-cachedir=/var/cache/samba \
> --disable-avahi \
> --disable-rpath \
> --disable-rpath-install \
> --bundled--libraries=NONE,pytevent,iniparser,roken,wind,hx509,asn1,heimbase,hcrypto,krb5,gssapi,heimntlm,hdb,kdc,com_err,compile_et,asn1_compile \
> --builtin-libraries=replace,ccan,samba-cluster-support \
> --minimum-library-version="$(shell ./debian/autodeps.py --minimum-library-version)"


Use of --nonshared-binary=smbtree is for test purposes only.

Any suggestion or help would be more than welcomed. I've not been able to build
a single non-shared binary so far.

TIA,

Kind regards,

...Louis
