[Samba] Samba 3.0.0 compilation errors under Unixware 7.1.1

[Peter Kess]

Hello,

I tried to build the latest samba source package with errors, it seems there
is a problem with the compatibility from the awk script mkbuildoptions.awk.

With older version 2.2.8a there was no problem compiling the sources. With
3.0.0  i got the following error:

It seems the error comes from the script

./script/mkbuildoptions.awk

We want to build our own samba package because its more suitable for our
customers.

Any help is very welcome.
