You should generally not compile things as root.  You do not need the
"sudo"s above.  Only when you "make install" should you need it,
because then it will need to write to /usr/local/samba35 where a
normal user would not have write access.  This is, however, not the
cause of your problems.

I have just tried the above and it compiled successfully for me.  What
is the full output of the errors you get?  It should provide more
information than you have quoted above.

What you have above should work.  "git am" automatically commits the patches.

Post the full error and maybe someone will be able to figure out what
the problem is.  Are you able to build 3.5.6 without the patches
applied?
