Statically Linked NRPE

[David Wilkinson]

Hi All

I am trying to get a statically linked version of NRPE to put on our 
servers.

I tried the Statically Linked Nagios Linux Agent from the Nagios website 
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Monitoring-Agents/Statically-Linked-Nagios-Linux-Agent

It fails to extract to the files when I try to use it, I get the following.

./Linux_Static_Agent.tar.gz.sh

Starting nrpe:


I tried to email the owner and I got a bounce back so I have tried 
compile a static linked version from source

In the Makefile and src/Makefile I have added
CC=gcc -static
and from searching around I have also tried adding
LDFLAGS= -L/usr/lib64 /usr/lib64/libssl.a /usr/lib64/libcrypto.a -ldl
to the make files and the compile fails every time


I get the following error every time I try to compile NRPE statically 
linked.
Any idea's or pointers on how I can get this to work?
Could be an OS problem? I am using Debain Squeeze x64
