Hi,

finally I was able to reproduce the build error. The reason for the bug 
is described in an upstream bug report which was closed as WONTFIX:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9515

If installed, samba4 uses the docbook-xsl package from the host system to 
build parts of the documentation. On my Debian system the bug reported to 
samba4 was fixed in the docbook-xsl package:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765567

Looking at http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=samba4-4.8.3 I saw the 
system from Matt Weber being called "(U14.04 RC LARGO)" so I installed 
Ubuntu 14.04.5, which does not carry the fix and voila, I could reproduce 
the error.

This patch fixes the problem by disabling the build of the documentation:
https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/network/
samba/patches/samba-950-no-man.patch

Are you willing to accept this patch for buildroot or should the docbook-
xsl package on the autobuilder instances instead be patched? At the end 
the bug is neither in the samba4 package nor in buildroot itself.

Regards, Bernd
