Upon more scrutiny, this appears during configuring:

Looks like a problem with the system headers. The Autoconf manual [1]
suggests a way to fix it but I don't think that will work in this
case.

It also should be known that I am using gcc 4.1.1 which I successfully
bootstrapped via the bootstrap-prefix.sh script. This process to get
this working was quite tricky, a) bootstrap gcc with the native
hpux-ia64 tools, b) bootstrap binutils because they wouldn't compile
with the native tools, c) re-bootstrap gcc so it can take advantage of
the new binutils. [2]

Any ideas?
Thanks!
