Miguel, I have sent a patch to the freeipa-devel-list with some header
file changes to solve the compilation issues you were seeing.

There are still problems remaining, however. Ubuntu's libldb-samba4-dev
package does not include the ldb_module.h header (and associated files),
so it is impossible to build the LDB modules we need within the SSSD.
You need to contact the LDB package maintainer for Ubuntu and arrange
for this functionality to be included. Until that is done, you won't be
able to build the SSSD.

At the same time, you should request of the Ubuntu Samba maintainers to
produce a libtevent and libtevent-dev package separate from
samba4-common and python-samba4-dev (respectively) that includes a
pkg-config file for TEvent. This will simplify building the SSSD. In the
meantime, the following environment variables will work around this problem:
export TEVENT_LIBS="/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/tevent.so"
export TEVENT_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/samba-4.0/"
