See gdb/391.
The top level configury, on a HP/UX system, defaults CC to ``cc''.
GDB's configury, thanks to AM_PROG_CC_STDC, sets it to ``cc -Ae''.
Unfortunatly, when doing a top level (GNU) make, the sub directories are updated using something equivalent to:
cd gdb; $(MAKE) CC=$(CC)
i.e.
cd gdb; make CC=cc
so GDB's correctly set CC make variable (CC=cc -Ae) is overridden with CC=cc. Ulgh.
Workaround 1:
After the build dies; cd to the GDB directory and run make from there:
cd gdb && make
Workaround 2:
Configure using:
CC='cc -Ae' ..../configure
which forces the correct compiler everywhere.
The fix would involve changing the top level configury so that it configures everything to ``cc -Ae'' on a HP/UX system.
