Error message during compilation of 1.6.3p7

Builds fine for me using the HP native ANSI compiler.

It looks like your GCC is not configured well for HP-UX 11.0.  Which
does not surprise me since GCC does not support HP-UX 11.0 very well
at all.  Officially you need to use the GCC 3.0 compiler to get 11.0
support.  But that has it's own set of issues that may prevent people
from wanting to use it at this date.

Try building using the native HP ANSI compiler.  It works fine for
me on my HP-UX 11.0 platforms.

If you have a HP-UX 10.20 machine handy you can use GCC there to
compile the program, and then run the 10.20 program on both 10.20 and
11.0.  HP-UX 11.0 is backward compatible to HP-UX 10.20 programs and
will run them just fine.

  CC=cc CFLAGS='-O' ./configure --prefix=/usr
