I have built Samba 4.1.8 on a Solaris 10 box. It looks like it is using
Sun's libintl. But I have other stuff in odd places. I made a small
script to do the configure. You should be able to do something like it.
Here is what I used:

#! /bin/sh
CFLAGS="-O3 -I/opt/local/include" \
LDFLAGS="-R/opt/local/samba4/lib:/opt/local/samba4/lib/private -L/opt/local/lib" \
./configure configure  --prefix=/opt/local/samba4


Note that configure does not correctly set the run path on a Solaris
system, so that is why I had to give it the -R option.
Also, go to bugzilla.samba.org and look at bug 10492 and the last part
of the last comment for bug 10261. Your gcc may not have problems with
that option, but ours sure did.
If you should ever want to compile with Sun's cc compiler, see bug 10315.
Also use no optimization with Sun's cc compiler.
