samba - Jul 2018 - Compiling Samba 4.8.3 on Solaris 10 produces "Undefined symbol" for tdbtorture

Hi,
I am trying to compile the latest Samba (4.8.3) on a Solaris 10
server. Apart from a small precompiler issue the compilation worked
surprisingly well, up to this linker error I can't get past:

[3237/3835] Linking default/lib/tdb/tdbtorture

Build failed:  -> task failed (err #2):
        {task: cc_link tdbtorture_3.o -> tdbtorture}

I assume the necessary symbols are in libtdb, so somehow it didn't
link automatically. Can I tell the build system explicitly to do so?
Or is there something else I should do?

Thanks,
Fabian

What compiler are you using?

If I remember correctly, gcc still uses the Solaris linker, not the gnu 
linker.    You could probably work around it by renaming ld and then 
creating a sym link to the gnu ld.          I ended up at some point 
recompiling GCC just to make sure that the gnu linker would be used.
