Jim suggested trying the current coreutils package.  I routinely built
the textutils package on hpux and it has always built fine.  When you
say HP tools I hope you mean the HP ANSI C compiler and not the
bundled 'crippled' compiler.

Since -Aa looks like the ANSI compiler I will assume that.

The configure from textutils and the newer coreutils can correctly
deduce the -Aa compiler flag.  I would not place it here.  In
particular you probably want '-Ae -D_HPUX_SOURCE' instead of what you
have.  Better to avoid saying -Aa and let configure choose -Ae
instead.  This is very likely your problem.

If you continue to have difficulty after trying the latest coreutils
please report back to the mailing list.  The *utils should compile
fine on hpux 10.20 as well as later versions of hpux.
