In building the Samba binaries from source after first using configure then 
the HP built-in "make" command, the build stops with this message:

Linking libsmbclient non-shared library bin/libsmbclient.a
Make: Cannot load -rc.  Stop.
*** Error exit code 1 (ignored)

I can send you copies of the configuration file and the Makefile.

I tried "make clean" and re-ran "make", with exactly the same results.

Before this failure, many of the programs were successfully built:

$ ls -s bin
total 817024     1072 profiles    102400 smbd      1616 tdbbackup

Thank you.
