System: HP-UX 11.00
>Description:
	In chapter 3 "Building Kerberos V5", section 3.8 "Operating System
	Incompatibilities", the note on HP-UX reads:
	
	  The native compiler for HPUX currently will not work, because it is
	  not a full ANSI C compiler.  The optional compiler (c89) should work
	  as long as you give it the `+Olibcalls -D_HPUX_SOURCE' (this has only
	  been tested for HPUX 9.0).  At this point, using GCC is probably
	  your best bet.

	Please remove the paragraph above from the documentation, replacing
	it with the following:

	  To invoke ANSI mode from the HP-UX ANSI C compiler, use the -Aa
	  option.  You should also use the option -D_HPUX_SOURCE.  (This 
	  has been tested for HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0). 
>How-To-Repeat:
	N/A
>Fix:
	Please update the documentation as noted in "Description".
	Also, please send notification when completed to dag@cup.hp.com.
	I have verified that Kerberos 5 1.0.5 builds correctly with 
	these compilation options on HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0.  HP-UX 9.0
	is obsolete.  If you have questions or comments, I'd be glad
	to chat over email.
