Nagios 2.5 make grievance on AIX 4.3

[Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de]

Dear Nagios Users,

I am forced to build Nagios for a legacy AIX box.
Unfortunately my AIX knowledge is pretty restricted.
I even don't know the package manager commands thereon to check
for installed revisions
of needed stuff like compiler, devel utilities and libs such as
OpenSSL.
I also lack root access there.
So I have to stick with some basic Unix Esperanto.

I downloaded the Nagios 2.5 source tarball,
unpacked it into a staging dir and ran configure and make like
below.

Unfortunately does the "make all" abort with some strange errors
(like from some helloworld object file).

However, the make all produced some PPC RISC binaries, as well as
the nagios daemon itself.

When I only execute the -h invocation everything looks ok.
But when I run the -v on my previous nagios.cfg I get a horrible
dump that looks like a call stack.
Could this be caused by my --enable-DEBUGALL configure flag?
If it is merely there for Nagios developers then I didn't mean to
have it.
I simply wished that I occassionally could toggle switch extended
logging of nagios.log
to better track errors of plug-ins and the like, should the need
arrive.

Would you suggest that I reconfigured without the
--enable-DEBUGALL?

Even if, would my nagios build at the stage where make bailed out
yet be fit for a make install?

Below some build history...

Usage: ./base/nagios [option] <main_config_file>

Options:

  -v   Reads all data in the configuration files and performs a
basic
       verification/sanity check.  Always make sure you verify
your
       config data before (re)starting Nagios.

  -s   Shows projected/recommended check scheduling information
based
       on the current data in the configuration files.

  -d   Starts Nagios in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground
process).
       This is the recommended way of starting Nagios for normal
operation.
