[Samba] Building on debian 8.6

[Jonathan Hunter]

Thank you Rowland!

Running 'apt-get install <all_those_packages>' resulted in:
[...]
The following extra packages will be installed:
  comerr-dev krb5-multidev libssl-doc
Suggested packages:
  doc-base krb5-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  comerr-dev krb5-multidev libkrb5-dev libpam-krb5 libssl-dev libssl-doc
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 2,739 kB of archives.
After this operation, 8,103 kB of additional disk space will be used.

This made me quite hopeful that I'd be able to compile samba, but
sadly no luck - exactly the same again. (Sorry for the delayed
response - I left it compiling but the network connection dropped
overnight, so I re-started the build this morning!)
