Initial Comment:
I am trying to get Nagios 2.5 running on a RedHat Linux
release 7.3 (Valhalla) . I have compiled Nagios itself
with no problem, then went on to compile
nagios-plugins-1.4.5 . The compiler dies with the
following messages:

At first, I suspected this to be a compiler error
because I was using the gcc-2.96 installed by default
in the OS, so I compiled and installed gcc-4.1.1 and
tried again, but this didn't change anything.

On an aside, I don't even *need* the ntp plugin, is
there any support for telling the system not to build
it in the first place ?
