I've CC'ed Sérgio and Nico who recently had a thread about building
modern Samba on CentOS7.  They may be able to help here.

Their work is online at:
https://github.com/sergiomb2/SambaAD
https://github.com/nkadel/samba4repo

Thanks to everyone working to show Samba master can be built and
developed on CentOS7, much better to confirm this now than find out at
RC4 ;-)
