Okay ... several hours and a headache later.. In sort.c's check function there is a variable named nonunique, which is declared as type bool. The code later does a compare: if (<bool,true> <= (int)-1) error xlc decided that the comparison was true. The solution is to declare nonunique as an int type. > > The cp/fail-perm failures are because HPUX appears to fail with EACCES > rather than EPERM.

Unfortunately, I've spent too much time at this already, so can't really investigate further. Note that all the replecement functions are being used on this platform, localtime, tzset, putenv etc. > Thanks for all of that work. > Can you get newer versions of those compilers from HP > or use gcc instead? > > Is there a strong argument for continuing to use HP's compilers? Yet another dependency not installed on the base system (shared libgcc). Okay, I understand.
