For what it's worth, it seems I used

  rpmbuild --without dshgroups --without netgroup --without machines --with nodeupdown --with genders

along with the whatsup pingd module.  (pingd gives a more reliable -v
than ganglia since ganglia gives false negatives if gmond dies and false
positives if you simply feed out-of-band metrics with gmetric.  It's a
bit unclean to have pingd and Nagios both pinging, but I don't think it
has a practical effect.)
