This happens when trying to build Debian 3.4.1 packages.

We build with:
conf_args = \
                --cache-file=./config.cache \
                --with-fhs \
                --enable-shared \
                --enable-static \
                --disable-pie \
                --prefix=/usr \
                --sysconfdir=/etc \
                --libdir=/usr/lib/samba \
                --with-privatedir=/etc/samba \
                --with-piddir=/var/run/samba \
                --localstatedir=/var \
                --with-rootsbindir=/sbin \
                --with-pammodulesdir=/lib/security \
                --with-pam \
                --with-syslog \
                --with-utmp \
                --with-readline \
                --with-pam_smbpass \
                --with-libsmbclient \
                --with-winbind \
                --with-shared-modules=idmap_rid,idmap_ad,idmap_adex,idmap_hash,idmap_ldap,idmap_tdb2 \
                --with-automount \
                --with-ldap \
                --with-ads \
                --without-smbmount \
                --with-dnsupdate \
                --without-libtdb \
                --without-libnetapi \
                --with-modulesdir=/usr/lib/samba \
                --datarootdir=/usr/share \
                --datadir=/usr/share/samba \
                --with-swatdir=/usr/share/samba/swat \
                --with-lockdir=/var/run/samba \
                --with-statedir=/var/lib/samba \
                --with-cachedir=/var/cache/samba \
                --enable-external-libtalloc \
                --without-libtalloc \
                --with-ctdb --with-cluster-support=yes \
                --with-cifsmount \
                --with-cifsupcall \
                --with-acl-support \
                --with-quotas
Then:
        $(MAKE) -C source3 # headers
        $(MAKE) -C source3 everything
        $(MAKE) -C source3 nsswitch

We get a faillure when the torture suite tools are linked:

Compiling utils/debug2html.c

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/testsuite.o', needed by `bin/talloctort'.  Stop.                                                       


That seems related to recent changes introducing --with-external-talloc.

06:17 < vorlon> so the main build has been fixed, but not the 'make torture' target
