Summary: Failure to configure v1.4 on AIX5.1

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to compile Nagios Plugins 1.4 on AIX 5.1 
using gcc 3.0.1.0 (built by Bull Freeware).
configure script fails to compile <signal.h>. This seems 
to be a known error with gcc on AIX 5.1. But I could not 
find a remedy on the Web.
Does anybody have an idea, what is going wrong.

Problem resolved.
Sorry, I got a rotten gcc from Bull AIX 5.1 download site. I 
told them about the problem, I hope they will eventually 
remove the link. For AIX 5.1 and higher, use the gcc 
distributions from the "AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications" at 
the IBM site.
