This is a false positive.  I've checked the library, it perhaps
shouldn't be a library any more, but it really doesn't need libc, it
only links to gnutls.  See lib/util/genrand.c.

There is probably a linker rule being used to tell Samba not to link
against libraries unless really needed.

Try changing it from SAMBA_LIBRARY to SAMBA_SUBSYSTEM if you like, that
will cause it to be brought into something larger that will need libc.
