cannot build library on HP-UX

[Denis Laroche]

Hello everybody,

it's my first attempt to write a library using the autotools. The
library builds ok on Linux and OSX, but not on the platform where I
need it, HP-UX. It fails in the directory containing gnulib source
files.

I used version 2.69 of autoconf and version 1.13.4 of automake to
generate the configure script. I use a recent version of GNU make,
3.82, on the HP-UX system. I also use option subdir-objects in
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to minimize the number of recursions, although the
gnulib library is still built in its own directory.

I reproduced below the ouput of make --debug=v; the gnulib source
files are in directory lib. If someone is willing to help, I'll be
glad to provide any file that you might require.

Thanks in advance.
