I did a configure with the following options:

CC=gcc --with-libs=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/include:/usr/local/include --with-openssl  --disable-thread-safety

The used gcc is of version 4.2.3 and gmake version 3.82.

Is there anybody who knows what’s going wrong.

The same compile works fine for SLES9, SLES10, SLES11, RHEL5 and AIX 5.2.
