[Samba] Compiling Samba 4.8.3 on Solaris 10 produces "Undefined symbol" for tdbtorture

[Gaiseric Vandal]

What compiler are you using?

If I remember correctly, gcc still uses the Solaris linker, not the gnu 
linker.    You could probably work around it by renaming ld and then 
creating a sym link to the gnu ld.          I ended up at some point 
recompiling GCC just to make sure that the gnu linker would be used.
