Hi,

I've had some problems too on our HP 9000/800,
athough only file eval.c had to be compiled
manually without the -O option. All other files compiled correct.
After compiling all the files I got an error message from ld:

/bin/ld: Target of conditional branch is out of range
  Reference from: /lib/libc.a(syscall.o)(0x3c)
/bin/ld: Invalid fixups exist
*** Error code 1

Anyone got an explanation for this one? Can I avoid this error?

(BTW: Configure thought HPUX was somekind of bsd)
