Beware!  Using -lBSD when Configure thinks an HP-UX system is SysV
based is asking for trouble, especially in the signal handling area.
I'd recommend taking -lBSD out of the libs line.

What is alignbytes in your config.sh?  Configure runs a program that
says 2, but the answer should be 4.  (Doubles can align on 2 bytes
inside structures, but must be 4 for normal use).  See the HP-UX
Portability Guidelines for more details.

Also, from personal experience, using perl's malloc seems to prevent
some malloc/free errors.

Finally, -lnet and -lndir are empty, and thus not needed.

Hope this helps.
