Shouldn't configure be able to arrive at that without me adding manually?

Anyway, after the build finishes thing soon come crashing down; my stack trace is at the end...

Is this a bug report about configure, or a bug report about a crash during compilation after you've adjusted the configure parameters? It seems like you are reporting two different things here.

For the configure issue, would you care to suggest a patch? I don't believe we have any core developers with access to hpux.

You're right I see that doesn't quite make sense now. The crash is
obviously much more critical. I don't suppose there's a way of changing
the bug's title? I'll open a new one if not.

Sure, I'd like to eventually, but knowing very little about auto-tools
that likely won't be very soon. Are there docs anyone can recommend?

Will close this -- I'll try to help improve configure as I can get time.
