In the Makefile, the compiler was "cc -Ae", which is the ANSI compiler plus
extensions.  However, in "configure", plain old cc was used, and that is
the K&R compiler in HP-UX 10.2 (but not in HP-UX 11).  This is the compiler
that misunderstood the indented compiler directives.

It sounds like I'm lucky that my Python 1.5.2 threads are working on HP-UX
10.2!  I should perhaps just be content with that?
