I'd like to be able to build as many of the Samba 4.0 features as possible, so I don't want to revert to the old toolchain, but I'm under a deadline of ~1 week, so I'll try that next if I can't get the waf system to work.

I think the next step is to change your python install to something as
close to the upstream python as possible.  We supply an
'install_with_python.sh' script which installs a (now old) but known
working version, but you should also have reasonable luck with just the
current python 2.7
