Summary: 1.4.11 doesn't compile (2x)

Initial Comment:
I got this complie error, during 'makeing' nagios-plugins-1.4.11 on RHEL4:

----------8<----------
basename.c: In function `char* base_name(const char*)':
basename.c:95: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `char*'
make[3]: *** [basename.o] Error 1
---------->8----------

'cause i didn't need it, i removed the part for rewriting windows(?) paths from basename.c.

distclean, configure, make and a similar error occured:

----------8<----------
dirname.c: In function `char* dir_name(const char*)':
dirname.c:79: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `char*'
make[3]: *** [dirname.o] Error 1
---------->8----------

It's a rewrite of a filename/path there too, but I'm not sure why it throws an Error. The corresponding line 79 from dirname.c:
----------8<----------
  char *dir = xmalloc (length + append_dot + 1);
---------->8----------

You didn't post the compiler command line which threw the error, but it
seems as if you're using g++ instead of gcc for some reason.  Is the
environment variable CC set to "g++" or something like that?
