Fine.  Since I know what each option to the compiler does, I know what
can affect configure tests.  And if I screw up, I can back out again.  
Besides, I've done this a lot, so I know what exactly I manage to mangle.

My experience has been that none of what I did to config.status resulted in 
"subtle and hard to detect errors".  I don't assert that this is the way 
everyone running HPUX should do it.  I only asserted that doing it the way 
I did results in a good compile, and a binary that passes all the checks.

Modifying the DYNAMIC_CIPHER_MODS in config.status ensures that this 
variable propagates to the cipher subdirectory.  Running configure, even 
with --disable-dev-random and without --with-capabilities (which is 
supposed to be the default, to exclude Linux capabilities) does not get
rid of rndlinux as one of the DYNAMIC_CIPHER_MODS.  So, this was the only 
way I could remove rndlinux without munging up cipher/Makefile.in (which 
I ended up having to do, anyway).

As for CC, the -Ae is a superset to the default -Aa flag which configure 
will set.  +DA1.1 and +DS2.0 do nothing to whether the compiler accepts a 
piece of code or not: it just modifies output to be able to run on two 
families of the PA-RISC processor.

With CFLAGS, I agree that I might have trouble with defining 
- -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE without having configure run through its checks.  
But, I was lazy and didn't want to wait around for the time it would take 
for configure to re-run from scratch.  

I'm impatient, and cavalier with configure.  Sosumi.

Signing off with my not-broken (subtly or otherwise) gpg 1.0.3,
