Can't tell you, due to those libs being intertwined to the point of
complete mess. What I can tell that I did try the change you made and
samba told me that system lacks xattr/acl support and AD will not
function properly. Maybe something changed recently, but I'm not too
keen on lerning it the hard way.

I based samba4 packaging on debian, so check there if you want.
But whatever you do please test this package before bumping release or
sending build requests (simple `samba-tool domain provision ; service samba start`
should do the trick).
