src/m/hpux.h has "#define static", and I think all the version- 
specific headers inherit it from there; perhaps that's the cause...  
the comment indicates that everything "static" goes into initialized  
data (which may be just the native compiler, or gcc too, I don't  
know), and emacs doesn't like that, so it's worked around.
