The published compat-gnutls34 and compat-nettle32 from have "devel"
packages that conflict with the default gnutls and nettle packages.
There are probably more graceful ways around them, but they'd need
some hooks in the samba building tools to *find* and use the
alternative locations.

Is there any chance that the alternative, mit-krb5 based Kerberos
setups are good enough to use for samba-4.11? Fedora has been enabling
them in rawhide, but I don't know if all the older components in RHEL
7 or now RHEL 8 are recent and play nicely, and I for one have not had
the spare stable build environment to test it out lately.
