+On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible.  If GNU CC is
+not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in order to
+use an ANSI C compiler:

+@example
+./configure CC="cc -Ae"

+On OSF/1 a.k.a.@: Tru64, some versions of the default C compiler cannot
+parse its @code{<wchar.h>} header file.  The option @option{-nodtk} can be
