Summary: HP/UX vs configure

Initial Comment:
configure is busted when building with HP's compiler.

"cc -Ac" is ancient and broken, "cc -Aa" is too anal to

compile it's own system headers, and "cc -Ae" breaks

autoconf.

The problem is the same one as outlined here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12100

but in our case, it hits a whole lot of functions.



(basically: AC_CHECK_FUNCS expands to code that ends up

#including limits.h, which ends up including

sys/time.h, which breaks all checks for the various

time related bits.)



The GCC people worked around it with their own version

of the appropriate magic.

Oh, and the problem also occurs if you use gcc instead of cc -Ae

the functions that fail (erroneously) are

HAVE_CLOCK HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY HAVE_MKTIME HAVE_SELECT

HAVE_STRFTIME HAVE_STRPTIME HAVE_UTIMES
