Regardless of what the text says, this is typically a problem with the
package's configure.ac file.  Report it to the package owner instead.

The package you are trying to build (like almost every package you'll
find) is written in ANSI C.  The bundled HP compiler handles only K&R C;
you need to either purchase the ANSI C compiler for your HP machine, or
build gcc and its dependencies first.
