I am really the wrong person to answer your questions, but I will try to 
my best abilities ;-)

You want to compile Samba for an embedded system, but the problem is 
that, by default, Samba is configured to produce code that will produce 
anything from a standalone server to an AD DC and this will produce a 
large amount of code.

To build for an embedded system, you need to configure Samba to only 
build what you require, as to what this is, or how to do this, I do not 
know, perhaps these threads may help:

The person you probably need to discuss this with is Andrew Bartlett, 
but he is on leave at the moment. You could try posting to the 
samba-technical mailing list and hope that someone picks up this discussion.
