1.9.18 on Slackware Linux 2.0.30

[Richard Fudge]

I've got a weird problem trying to compile samba-1.9.18 on any of our
Slackware 3.4 Linux 2.0.30 systems. I've never had any problems before
with samba, so this is a bit weird.

When I set up the Makefile etc, and compile it all goes well until ...

make: *** [smbpass.o] Error 1

I don't think this is gcc, as it works fine with everything else .... and
I've tried a couple of machines
(different processor/mem etc, different installation).

It takes a long time (1 min) to finish and give up on this error ....

Has anyone else seen this ? This is a real pain as I need to upgrade our
samba systems on site.

Long live samba !
