We had the same problem a few months ago. The explanation (from
jik@cam.ov.com) was that gcc doesn't handle HP-UX structure-returning
conventions, so the interface to the system DBM libraries gets screwed
up.
However we were given the suggestion that we could modify
lib/kdb/Makefile.in so that it compiles kdb_dbm.o, the only file using
DBM, with a HP-UX compiler. This worked for us and kdb_dbm.c looks to
be non ANSI.
Here comes a cut from Makefile.in (written by jik@cam.ov.com)
ifeq ($(shell uname),HP-UX)
kdb_dbm.o: kdb_dbm.c
$(subst $(CC),c89 -D_HPUX_SOURCE, $(COMPILE.c)) kdb_dbm.c
endif
Another suggestion was to compile GNU dbm with gcc, and then use its
DBM-compatibility interface as the DBM library for kerberos.
We were also told that there was a pre-release of gcc (2.6.3.u9) that
would handle HP-UX correctly. Maybe it's out by now for real.
