I doubt anyone (distro) would install Samba 4 into /opt, especially
since it provides everything Samba 3 did.

Same applies for giflib, you have to use two includes to check for v4 or
v5. We're just lucky no code needs to be ported.

I doubt current instructions would work if Samba is installed in /opt,
unless you add in in include path.
