Re: support for IA64 HP-UX

[Paul D. Smith]

The version of autoconf used by the current release of GNU make has
problems in HP-UX 11.

You can get a pretest of the next release, which uses a newer automake,
here:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/make/


Note there has already been one (small... unless you hit it :) [1]) bug
found in this release so it's not identical to what the next release
will be, but it's close.

It should configure and build correctly for you on HP-UX 11.

-----
[1] The bug is you can't export multiple variables on one export line;
    i.e. "export FOO BAR" won't work; only the first will be exported.
