[Samba] compile samba 4.10.2 centos 7.6

[vincent at cojot.name]

Hi Nico,

That's bad news.. but would there be an interest in opening bugs with the 
samba team if python2 support is not sufficient for building and running 
samba 4.10 on rhel7? I thought I read in the release notes that python2 
support would stay for the length of 4.10.x but not afterwards. So, IMHO 
if it doesn't work as expected, perhaps it's time for us to file BZ 
issues?
I've not even tried to build 4.9.x yet but I'd be willing to give 
4.10.x a try if that's of interest (I'll probably do so shortly as 
being on 4.8.x means I'll stop receiving updates/fixes soon).

Regards,

Vincent
