Is your Samba source tree on an NFS mounted filesystem, by any chance?
If so, you can work around this by making sure that you do the build on
a local filesystem. The following works okay for me on RedHat:

  $ mkdir /var/tmp/samba
  $ cd /var/tmp/samba
  $ /path/to/samba/distribution/source/configure
  $ make
