The HP-UX 10.20 compiler is documented to fail on switch statements with
64 bit values, so yes, that test causes it to crash. However, the
problem only occurs with re_search which returns a regoff_t which is an
off_t which is, correctly, 64 bits. Please don't use this test in
configure.

Ah! That may be so, haven't tested, but look at this:
cc: "conftest.c", line 123: error 1639: Size of object being initialized
is too small to hold an address.
This line, assuming I counted right, is:
|         bool e = &s;

Hope this helps,
