If you're happy with being stuck on 4.1 until RHEL8 comes out, you can 
probably do that.  Don't forget that the whole point of enterprise distros 
(and debian stable) is stability.  That means not upgrading software 
unnecessarily.  If the goal is just to have "supported" packages with DC 
support, it should work fine.  If you need new features, you're going to 
have to roll your own or find someone who will provide it for you 
(sernet/samba+).

I just took a look at this and you have to change

%global with_mitkrb5 1
%global with_dc 0

to

%global with_mitkrb5 0
%global with_dc 1

You probably also need to add "--without clustering" to your rpmbuild 
command line.

If you build "--with testsuite" it would do the same thing as modifying 
the spec file, but the testsuite fails the build for me.  Modifying the 
spec file did build successfully and generated samba-dc and samba-dc-libs 
packages with a lot of files (including, suspiciously, a file which I 
don't see in sernet called /usr/lib64/mit_samba.so).  However, I didn't 
test to see if the packages actually work.

If sernet stops updating 4.1, I might consider going this route in the 
future, but I'll stick with sernet 4.1 for now.
