Well, someone managed to build it, at one time.  Possibly whoever did
the build had to modify the source.  In which case you can compare the
modified source with a pristine source from ftp.samba.org, and try to
make similar changes to 2.0.7.

If you don't feel competent to do this sort of patching, send me a diff
of the two source trees (`diff -urN pristine-dir modified-dir') and I
can take a look.

If you do not have the original source tree, demand it from whoever
gave you the binary.  You have that right, as Samba is under the GPL.
