[Samba] Upgrade From 2.2.3a to 2.2.4 Broke Solaris 8 PDC

[David Highley]

Trying to upgrade from 2.2.3a to 2.2.4 broke our Solaris 8 PDC. We see
the following issues:
    - Compile flag -KPIC is not valid for gcc, does not seem to bread
      build
    - Now looks like directory /usr/spool/samba is needed, but not
      created by install
    - smbclient -L hemlock fails with login problem:
[2001/10/16 10:43:28, 0] smbd/password.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(1295)
  connect_to_domain_password_server: unable to connect to SMB server on machine 
SEQUOIA. Error was : code 0.

  check_oem_password: incorrect password length (-628830915).

What I find interesting about this is, hemlock is the PDC and it appears
that it is asking sequoia to do the authentication. Nothing has been
changed in the smb.conf file and a diff of the testparm output between
the two version of samba gives us no clue as to the cause of failure.
