I got it to compile with the patch by removing "-Wall" and "-Werr"
references from "auto/cc/gcc" but it doesn't seem to log anything. I
still see output to the normal nginx logs but nothing to my rsyslog
server. Is there any additional configuration or switches I need to get
this rolling? I did the configure with '--with-syslog'.

Thanks.
