Well, the issue appears to be a (in my opinion) broken CSWkrb5 package,
that requires stdint.h even though it is not available on the platform
the package is for. I didn't realize straight off that this missing
header had nothing to do with Xymon. I guess I must have installed this
package since I last compiled.

If you don't need xymon to do secure http or ldap checks, you could try leaving those out during the configure stage.

Unfortunately I do need it for both. I'll work on dealing with the Blastwave people to get the dependencies sorted out.
