I just made a small fix to readline's spkg-install, so readline 6.0 builds 
properly on HP-UX. With that fixed, the first point of failure when building 
Sage 4.2.1 on HP-UX is with gnutls-2.2.1. Although HP-UX is not a supported 
platform, I created a ticket for this.

Coincidently (or not!), the first point of failure on OpenSolaris is also with 
gnutls-2.2.1.

It seems gnutls-2.2.1 is causing problems on at least two platforms (HP-UX and 
OpenSolaris), though the error messages are completely different. (I do have a 
workaround for the OpenSolaris issue, but it is not really a nice solution)

Is there any good reason for using such an old version (Jan 2008) of gnutls 
when 
the latest is 2.8.5?
