There is my toolchain over at https://github.com/nkadel/samba4repo/ .
I've found that Samba 4.9 with the domain controller requires gnutls
4.3.7 or better, which makes a *big* problem for RHEL 7. But you're
welcome to play with the tools and set up a samba-4.8.x branch.

The recent complete switchover from python 2 to python3 is going to
cause even more problems. The SCLO python packages are quite painful
and short of critical modules, which makes a huge toolchain build to
assemble them, and the python36 now in EPEL did not work well for me
last time I tried. Frankly, RHEL 8 is overdue with gnutls updates and
better python 3 support.
