I don't think it has anything to do with the --with-sendfile-support option,
then; perhaps your build environment is set up to optimize binaries for your
particular ARM chip?

Previous versions of samba also built with sendfile support by default,
we've always had this without manually enabling it.

'smbd -b | grep -i sendfile'.
