No, this fails the same way. BTW, after making the ugly change, we get
setenv.c to build but run into a fatal compiler bug building
canonicalize.c. I created a small test case and will report it to the
HP developers. I'm going to import the canonicalize.c from coreutils
CVS to try and workaround this.
