The recompile will not have any effect on the check_nrpe plugin , but 
will change the way the nrpe daemon works and listens to the  commands 
sent from the nagios server .

about the "make" ,all you need to do is as follows :

./configure --enable-command-args
make
make install

then check the configuration , verify the init script and start nrpe .

after that - change the testing to work the way you want it .

( always good to have the debug of nrpe enabled  while testing ).
