FWIW, I recommend using `configure --disable-nls' under HP/UX, if you
don't need the i18n.

Weirdly enough, if you configure and compile with HP's K&R C compiler, it
almost works.  Anyway. For gcc, apply the following to custom.h. Then

        make distclean
        configure --disable-nls
        make

and it ought to put you back in business.

This worked for me on an HP/UX 11 system I have access to.

Thanks,

Arnold
