BTW, would it be possible to tweak configure's test for "minimum working
C compiler" to include a check that cc accepts ANSI-style function
prototypes? That would allow us to bounce HP's lame excuse for a free
compiler with a slightly useful message ...

Get a real compiler :-(
The "bundled" cc is a piece of junk that HP ought to be ashamed to ship.
You cannot build Postgres (or much of anything else) with it. If you
don't want to shell out for HP's real C compiler, install gcc.
