libwbclient as an LGPL shared lib must not depend on lib/util/util.o

We need to work out why we have code that gets brought in to
libwbclient.so that needs this symbol.

This might be related to the work we have done at 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14780 to ensure that we
don't include private libraries in libraries like this.

We also need to work out why this isn't seen in upstream Samba default
builds.

Did you work this out any further?  Can you get us a minimal command
otherwise to reproduce?

Thanks!
