I just now noticed that the problem probably isn't with C-ARES, but with the "--rpath" options that Xymon uses for the linker command.
If you look at the build/Makefile.SunOS file, you'll find the linker setup there. Xymon tries to figure out if you are using the GNU ld program:
LDTYPE := $(shell ld -V 2>&1|head -1|cut -d' ' -f1) ifeq ($(LDTYPE),GNU) RPATH=-Wl,--rpath, else RPATH=-Wl,-R endif
Try deleting those lines, and see if it helps.
