This is strange, since there isn't an identifier 'l' in line 111 of
coreutils 5.0's lib/human.c file.  I suspect a macro-expansion
problem.

What are the values of HAVE_INTTYPES_H, HAVE_STDINT_H, and uintmax_t
in your config.h?

Do your inttypes.h and/or stdint.h include files define uintmax_t
and/or UINTMAX_MAX?  If so, what values are they defined to?

Do you have the same problem when you build the latest coreutils
alpha?  It has some fixes relevant to HP-UX, and may sidestep the
problems you're having.  You can find it at:
