Static cross-compiles aren't a topic that generate much help. I've been
trying for over a month to build a static samba for Android w/o any joy.
Google was no help, and even this list had no help to offer. I decided that
I would try a native compile on my new pi and see if I made any progress.

The static 3.2.15 works fine on the pi, but fails under android since it
can't find user root or guest. But that's another issue, I don't expect any
help debugging such elderly code :)

Thanks for the replies and the info about the child processes.
