Sorry for the delay, I'm rather busy at the moment (semester just started).
The error is simple, smb.h makes use of a bool type which the samba version
in etch doesn't define and which is not valid data type in the C language.
You can either change this to _Bool which is valid in C99 or to an int to
fix the problem.

After fixing this you will run into:
smbd/process.c: In function 'push_queued_message':
smbd/process.c:97: error: 'false' undeclared (first use in this function)
smbd/process.c:97: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
smbd/process.c:97: error: for each function it appears in.)
smbd/process.c: In function 'receive_message_or_smb':
smbd/process.c:418: error: 'true' undeclared (first use in this function)

This can be fixed by changing these values to True and False which are defined
to be 1 and 0 in the source.

Other than that you should be fine.

Cheers
Nico
