samba - Dec 2006 - Compilation error on Mac OS X 10.4.7

Dear List:

I am having difficulties compiling samba-3.0.23d on mac os x.
Here is the output of 'uname -a':
Darwin TI-15 8.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.7.0: Fri May 26 15:20:53
PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.6.76.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc

The errors I get are:
Compiling lib/system.c
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_getxattr':
lib/system.c:1420: error: too few arguments to function 'getxattr'
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_fgetxattr':
lib/system.c:1504: error: too few arguments to function 'fgetxattr'
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_listxattr':
lib/system.c:1705: error: too few arguments to function 'listxattr'
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_flistxattr':
lib/system.c:1741: error: too few arguments to function 'flistxattr'
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_removexattr':
lib/system.c:1759: error: too few arguments to function 'removexattr'
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_fremovexattr':
lib/system.c:1811: error: too few arguments to function 'fremovexattr'
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_setxattr':
lib/system.c:1842: error: too few arguments to function 'setxattr'
lib/system.c: In function 'sys_fsetxattr':
lib/system.c:1939: error: too few arguments to function 'fsetxattr'

Since I am a C programmer, I looked at the prototype for getxattr.
It is  ssize_t getxattr(const char *path, const char *name, void
*value, size_t size, u_int32_t position, int options);
and in the lib/system.c, it is called as:
        return getxattr(path, name, value, size);

I think that position and options can safely be set to zero, but could
someone tell me if configure can be told to detect the prototype for
getxattr, and add 0,0 to the argument list.

I am not very good with auto(make|conf).

This is fixed in the svn repository. To download and build this, see
