HP/UX has some subtle "features" governed by preprocessor macros.  Sockets
in particular come to mind.  

http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Present-But-Cannot-Be-Compiled.html

may offer some guidance.  While it suggests changes you can't easily make
(to the autoconf inputs), it also says the cause is a disagreement between
the preprocesor and the compiler.  That sounds like a local setup issue.  

HTH.
