[Samba] Building from source on an ARM71 based router

​Since it may be related, here is the uname output from my system:

Linux router 4.4.67 #317 SMP Thu May 11 12:58:51 CEST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

Since this is a custom distro, I'm guessing there's is an
additional/different value that the was scripts may be expecting, that
somehow works into a subscript/function that is called as part of configure?

I installed the full version of uname, vs the linked to busybox version
(that was a previous error).

Here's the help output from my installed uname binary:

uname --help
Usage: uname [OPTION]...
Print certain system information.  With no OPTION, same as -s.

  -a, --all                print all information, in the following order,
                             except omit -p and -i if unknown:
  -s, --kernel-name        print the kernel name
  -n, --nodename           print the network node hostname
  -r, --kernel-release     print the kernel release
  -v, --kernel-version     print the kernel version
  -m, --machine            print the machine hardware name
  -p, --processor          print the processor type or "unknown"
  -i, --hardware-platform  print the hardware platform or "unknown"
  -o, --operating-system   print the operating system
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit
