Yes. The Oracle patch set did a "shadow copy patch" (as you describe it) by which I assume you mean the configuration strategy where they make two copies of the source and build in each, etc. That was done due to some bugs in the Samba autoconf scripts, which I chose instead to fix and submit for inclusion into Samba. (They should be in Samba already, but were then delayed by some copyright discussions. Those are now resolved, so the changes should be in samba once I update them to current samba revs.)
The change to the libraries was because I prefer linking with the normal system default LDAP and GSSAPI support instead of the Netscape one. Previous changes to the Samba config had switched from libldap to the NSPR librarires due to a missing API function that Samba needs. I fixed our libldap in illumos to provide the missing function, so we can continue to use the system libldap with Samba. So in short, both of the above are just better ways to fix things than what the Oracle userland port of samba does.
