Comment (by markmentovai):

 I started looking at this, and while it’s certainly possible to fix, it’s
 quite a bit of effort to continue patching this obsolete, unmaintained
 version of samba3, when samba4 is maintained and works on macOS 15 out of
 the box. samba3 hasn’t been touched since 2015-02-22.

 When I realized that the port I was interested in didn’t have a hard
 dependency on samba3, but was just specifying a dependency as
 `path:lib/pkgconfig/smbclient.pc:samba3`, I substituted samba4 and kept
 moving forward. For reference, [https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/compare/master...markmentovai:macports-ports:samba3_xcode16 here was
 my work in progress] before I stopped.

 I wonder whether samba4 might be an option for others who are experiencing
 this.
