Having had to compile stuff under HPUX that generally compiles without 
error on a host of other machines and Unix's, but never having had to 
tackle BIND 8.2.2P5, I can only offer the following general information:

First, you need to know about the following link:

         http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/

and then from here go to one that is geographically closer. Most of the 
stuff I would have problems compiling, I would usually find a resolution 
(or a package) here.

Failing that, you could try and contact someone at the HP Porting Centre 
and ask them for assistance.

The long and short of this is that this is an HPUX problem, and I had more 
than my share of them when I worked on HPUX equipment. The lack of help you 
are receiving on this issue may reflect that (a) people who do the HPUX 
work aren't on this list, or (b) they are waiting for someone to solve it 
since they cannot. It doesn't mean people haven't seen your email.

The other resolution would be to stop trying to use gcc on HPUX and try to 
compile the code using HP's compilers. I never had a whole lot of luck 
using gcc on HPUX because of the wild and crazy dependencies that only HP 
compilers seemed to be able to actually resolve. Yes, I know gcc is free, 
but the "compiler" doesn't supply all the host of .h files you usually need 
to complete a compile.

If you are pissed about the general situation of HPUX and lack of the 
ability to compile programs that compile with little or no work on other 
Unix's, then contact your HP representative and give them an ear full. It 
didn't work for me, but it might for you. However, if you don't at least 
try it under HPUX compilers, they probably won't listen. Being able to 
compile on HPUX is a "value add" proposition.

Sign me a disgruntled, and subsequently retired, HP user.
