This is just a wild guess, but did you remember to throw away 'config.cache'
before running configure with those options ? And if you type 'make' after
the configure, do you see make execute 'cc +DD64' like you want it to ? OPT
won't work, because it isn't used in the SIZEOF tests, but CFLAGS should,
and setting CC should also work.

Perhaps HP's 64-bit support is of the kind where you need to use special
datatypes for it to work ?
