Hi Andrew, at no point does the OP state that he has set 
--disable-python, so it is reasonable to think he wants to build Samba 
to use it as a DC.

If he does want to run Samba as a DC, then he will have problems. It 
says here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_4.11_Features_added/changed

Under the heading: REMOVED FEATURES

(trimmed to the salient points):

Python2 support
Samba 4.11 will not have any runtime support for Python 2.

Except for this specific build-time use of python2, Samba now requires 
Python 3.4 as a minimum.

So, by my reading, unless you do build Samba 4.11.x with 
--disable-python, you will not be able to run it satisfactorily as a DC 
without python3

As the OP already has 4.10.x, there isn't much point in building Samba 
4.11.x just to use it as a fileserver.
