Thanks for the report.

It's a HP-UX cc bug; you can use the appended patch as workaround.

Btw, please don't use the ~gnu ~ at ~ gnu ~.~ org~ mail address for bug
reports; this address is for enquiries about the GNU project as a whole.
~ bug-gnu-gettext ~ at ~ gnu ~.~ org~ is the right one: this is the
one mentioned in the --help output and in the manual.
