I'm guessing they're in whatever CentOS's equivalent of the BUILDROOT is. I haven't found a source for those repos however, but considering they also build FreeIPA [0], they've gotta have the package tucked somewhere. FWIW, I mentioned this problem to our internal Samba developers. They said they've been trying to get it in CodeReady Builder for a while but no progress has been made. Perhaps someone with a RHEL support contract can file a customer case asking for samba-devel and we can convince the powers that be to push it? I'd much rather have this in the upstream CentOS packages than our downsteam RHEL packages as I don't have the resources to support winbind myself.

Not sure exactly why Samba has been excluded.
Thanks for investigating. I couldn't see any obvious reasoning behind it.
It’s still in the Samba spec file, at least on the CentOS git server. You could build the RPM from the SRPM and get a -devel package out, and install it from there.
Sure, I found that. Does seem a lot of effort to just get two constants from a header file though. Here's hoping RH will put the package back.
There's always the solution of migrating to Debian or Ubuntu, rather than upgrading to RHEL 8 :-)
