[Samba] build samba on solaris 10 fails on libwbclient

[Gaiseric Vandal]

On solaris you should be using Sun Studio compilers as well as sun 
"dmake"  (not sun or gnu "make".)  You may want to configure and compile 
with minimal options then incrementally enable and recompile additional 
options.

If you really want to use gcc,  you could try something like
     mv /usr/ccs/bin/ld
     ln -s /usr/sfw/bin/gld /usr/ccs/bin/ld

That will make sure that  gcc can at least find a version of ld that it 
expects-  but it is still an ugly hack and you  probably won't get it 
working anyway.


If you have a sun/oracle support contract, there is FINALLY an updated 
oracle-provided precompiled samba 3.5.5 patch.
