samba - Jun 2003 - smbwrapper/smbw.c does not compile (Error 1)

After discovering a bug in the SuSE Samba binary (2.2.7a and 2.2.8a) 
which prevents some older DOS programs from creating files on a Samba 
share, I downloaded and built Samba 2.2.8a from the sources. Everything 
seems to work now (the old DOS programs are able to write to Samba 
shares) with the exception of smbwrapper which causes the following 
errors when Samba is built:

Any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem?

I ran into identical issue with SuSE 8.2. The only way around it for me was
to uninstall SuSE 8.2 and reinstall SuSE 8.1. I was then able to compile and
install samba 2.2.8a.
