Thanks. I responded to Bjorn about the provenance of your SRPM.

Here are my error messages: This occurs on RHEL 5.4 and CentOS 5.4,
x86_64 architecture, in a normal home directory build and under mock.

$ rpmbuild --rebuild samba3-3.5.2-43.suse91.src.rpm

Looking more deeply, I see your fascinating logic around
'this_is_redhat'., which seems to be failing. I've no idea why it's
failing, but I've previously found group statements to be a bit subtle
and unreliable unless you're very careful to set 'LANG' to something
predictable. In particular, in RHEL 5 with the default en_US.UTF8
setup, grep is case insensitive and should therefore be avoided unless
you set 'LANG=POSIX' or something reliable, first.

I'd like to suggest some cleaner logic for RedHat detection, as
included in this patch:

This patch allows compilation. I'm running a complete build right now.
