I have found, after a loooong discussion with HP, that the optimizer
could be causing several problems under HPUX 6.5.  I missed the first
part of this discussion but have run into several problems when
compiling GNU software.  By turning off optimization, the compiles
worked.  In particular gcc-1.35 and gnu-emacs.  I also run X11R3 which
I built under HPUX 6.5.
