Not an expert here by any means, but if you take the configure options 
posted by the original OP:

  --with-winbind
  --with-swat
  --with-ads
  --with-ldap
  --with-acl-support
  --with-dnsupdate
  --with-aio-support
  --prefix=/opt/samba-4.0.0
  --sysconfdir=/etc/samba-4.0.0
  --localstatedir=/var/samba-4.0.0

They would be better given as:

  --prefix=/opt/samba-4.0.0
  --sysconfdir=/etc/samba-4.0.0
  --localstatedir=/var/samba-4.0.0

All the removed options are the defaults!

When it fails, it fails because it cannot find required header files, do 
you have Openldap-devel installed ? or are the '.h' files not where 
samba4 expects to find them ?
