   I'm using CFLAGS="-Ae +O4" and the HP ANSI C compiler to compile
   Guile.

   Compiling eval.c gives me the following stack of errors that
   doesn't make an awful lot of sense.  Compilation succeeded on
   Alpha, SGI, Sun (all with vendor-provided compilers) and
   Linux (gcc) without any problems.

   Any ideas?

maybe cpp mangled the code in a bad way.

try this: capture the "make" output, find where the compiler is
compiling eval.c, and use that command to run cpp only (the
equivalent of "gcc -E").  see if the resulting code looks
legitimate, or post a snippet of it if you are unsure.  if the
code is badly mangled (and you can correlate this w/ your error
messages), probably the easiest workaround is to use gcc.
