rsync compile problems

On our Tru64 5.1 AlphaServer, I have downloaded rsync source
from the following main site:
http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.5.2.tar.gz

However, I am unable to compile it. In fact, after unpacking,
it hangs right in ./configure, apparently at:
hostinfo = `(hostinfo) 2>/dev/null || echo unknown`
Even if I remove above line, it fails with following err:
checking for object suffix... configure: error:
cannot compute OBJEXT: cannot compile

I have compiled the same source on Solaris and Linux without
any problem.

I can't find pre-compiled binaries at rsync site either.
Any ideas?

Vinod.
