I didn't know that.

OK, go right ahead if you want. I had the impression Joost had (almost?)
figured out what's needed to compile Samba with libc6 (look at the
changelog to see what I mean), so I thought your efforts wouldn't be
needed to do this (IIRC, Klee is the maintainer for Samba, but I don't
know how busy he is).
