Can we remove aclocal.m4? The last log message states:
fix for bug #811160 - autoconf vs. hp/ux system header files. also applied to release23-maint.
Note that aclocal.m4 can go away when autoconf 2.58 is out.
It appears to me that 2.59 indeed fixes the HP-UX problem; a diff with and without aclocal.m4 shows chunks like
cat confdefs.h >>conftest.$ac_ext
cat >>conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
/* end confdefs.h. */
+/* Define $ac_func to an innocuous variant, in case <limits.h> declares $ac_func.
+ For example, HP-UX 11i <limits.h> declares gettimeofday. */
+#define $ac_func innocuous_$ac_func
+
/* System header to define __stub macros and hopefully few prototypes,
which can conflict with char $ac_func (); below.
Prefer <limits.h> to <assert.h> if __STDC__ is defined, since
- <limits.h> exists even on freestanding compilers. Under hpux,
- including <limits.h> includes <sys/time.h> and causes problems
- checking for functions defined therein. */
-#if defined (__STDC__) && !defined (_HPUX_SOURCE)
+ <limits.h> exists even on freestanding compilers. */
+
+#ifdef __STDC__
# include <limits.h>
#else
# include <assert.h>
#endif
+
+#undef $ac_func
+
So they manage to get limits.h define, say, innoucuous_clock(), instead of clock(), whereas we currently avoid including limits.h on HP-UX.
IOW, it seems like it should work, but somebody should test it on HP-UX to be sure.
