OK, an unmodified gnulib-tests/setenv.c from idutils 4.5 reports this when compiled with HP's ANSI C compiler on HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC platform) via the "gmake check" command: CC setenv.o cc: "setenv.c", line 151: error 1647: Illegal integer-pointer combination for second and third operands of conditional expression (?:). cc: "setenv.c", line 151: error 1527: Incompatible types in cast: Must cast from scalar to scalar or to void type. As I said earlier, the fix is to cast the return values from malloc() and realloc() to (char *), which seem to satisfy the HP compiler. Richard K.
