Problems compiling Python on HP-UX 11

[Ross Boylan]

I have now built a statically linked python on HP-UX 11.  Here is some
additional information.
I will put the build info in a separate message.

I couldn't reproduce this.  It was probably an artifact of switching
compilers.  However,I note that the build on the HP software site (see next
message) used -Ae.

The other items in my earlier message still stand.
