That's a mistake in the source code (as you've pointed out).
The DFS stuff isn't always compiled in and most of us on the
team have modern compilers that can handle it, but we shouldn't
be using it in Samba (not portable).

At least you've found the fix, it'll be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for telling us,
