Summary: Python 2.3a2 Build fails on HP-UX11i

Initial Comment:
While building Python 2.3a2 on HP-UX11i I got the 
following error:

ld -b build/temp.hp-ux-B.11.11-9000/785-

Richard, can you help diagnose further since I can't
reproduce on HP-UX 11.00?  My initial guess is that
iconv_open is in a different location, therefore the linking
is faililng.  Does man iconv_open reveal what library
iconv_open is in?  To add directories, etc. to the
build/link of iconv, you will need to edit setup.py (or test
on the command line).   Check around line 620 in setup.py.

Sorry for the delay but I had to download from CVS at 
home yesterday (Sunday 2nd) and build on HP-UX at 
work today.

Unfortunately I'm still getting the same linker error.

This iconv_codec problem may be fixed.  Please test with
current CVS to verify.
See SF bug #690012.

Richard, can you try the latest version from CVS.  I don't
have this problem on hp-ux-B.11.00-9000/829

I do have a problem with readline, but I think that's
specific to the machine I'm building on.
