The exec utility is failing to link with Compaq/HP C++ on Tru64

I suspect the vendors of the buggy compiler will not be able to fix
the bugs because of binary compatibility concerns and we will need
to work around them by being consistent about the way we declare
and define functions.
FYI, this occurs with the latest Sun Studio patchset too...
