[Samba] Samba Compile Error on 3.0.7 and 3.0.8 Pre 1 on X64 Fedora

[Bent Vangli]

Hi

Thank Guus. Your advise helped. I am now able to pinpoint the exact code that 
creates this error.

References below are  to Samba 3.0.20Pre1

"dynconfig.c" has an include statement that incorporate the file 
"include/includes.h". This latter file. On line 494 in this file a macro is 
runned if you have valgrind installed (valgrind is a memory check utility 
designed for x86 processors):

/* Special macros that are no-ops except when run under Valgrind on
 * x86.  They've moved a little bit from valgrind 1.0.4 to 1.9.4 */
#if HAVE_VALGRIND_MEMCHECK_H
/* memcheck.h includes valgrind.h */
#include 
#elif HAVE_VALGRIND_H
#include 
#endif

Using your advise Guus, I edited the Makefile to create .S file an analyzed it. 
As the error report stated during normal compilation, I found on both reported 
error lines the following assembler code:

  movl %rsi, %eax

This statement doesn't seem to be valid for the AMD64 processor. I also tryed 
to download a fresh new version of valgrind. That to bailed out in error 
because of this statement. IMHO it looks like that valgrind isn't 64 bit 
compliant. Further on it also look like samba detect the 64 bit prosecor as x86 
(which isn't tatally wrong :-)) ) and therefor include valgrind code if that is 
installed. On Fedora 64 bit version, valgrind is included in the 32 bit parts, 
and thus is used.

Suggestion: A better test should be included to not select valgrind on 64 bit 
systemes, or better - valgrind should be rewritten to be 64 bit compliant.

Medicine: Delete the above section in "include/includes.h", then compilation 
run just fine.

All tests was done on Fedora Core 3 64 bit dual opteron system.

Very best regards Bent Vangli

[Samba] Samba Compile Error on 3.0.7 and 3.0.8 Pre 1 on X64 Fedora

Hi

Exact same error occures on a dual AMD64 Fedora Core 3 64 bit with samba 
3.0.20Pre1. However, I have discovered taht putting the compile option "-m32" 
in the C compiler flags, which force 32 bit compilation, the error doesn't 
happen. The sad part of the story is that compilation crash later in the 
process.

It may be a compilatotor/linker error when assembler code is created, but it 
may as well be some some 32/64 bit spesific code creating this odd stuff. The 
generated assemblercode is deleted before I could investigate it, and I haven't 
the knowledge of how to keep it.

A medicine to this problem should be found, and I am sure it exists because a 
samba 3.10.x rpm compiled for Fedora Core 3 64 bit is in existence. Sadly, I 
havent' been able to find those settings. Maybe someone knows?

with best regards Bent Vangli
