You can't use gcc to compile Kerberos on HP-UX, because gcc doesn't handle
HP-UX structure-returning conventions, so the interface to the system DBM
libraries gets screwed up.
Here are some options for dealing with this problem:
1) Use an HP C compiler to compile Kerberos.
2) Get gcc-2.6.3.u9 from jaguar.cs.utah.edu:/dist and use that version of gcc
to compile Kerberos. It's a later (pre-release) version of gcc which does
structure-returning (mostly -- one of the authors told me, "we're still
running into occasional problems, but those are in obscure cases") correctly
under HP-UX.
3) Compile GNU dbm with gcc, and then use its DBM-compatibility interface as
the DBM library for Kerberos, instead of using the system DBM library.
