Michael,

It seems like you are confusing some products here. HP/UX comes with a
bundled C compiler, which is not an ANSI C compiler, but can be used
to install gcc.

HP also sells the "ANSI C product" as a separate product, that is
available from HP.

I don't understand what the "it" is that suggests using gcc - I would
guess it must be the Apache installation, not HP. I somehow doubt that
HP is recommending to install gcc - they'd rather recommend buying
their ANSI C compiler.

Anyway, gcc is the GNU Compiler Collection, and it includes a C
compiler that can be used both for ANSI C and traditional C. When
installing that compiler on HP/UX, it tries to use the -g option. That
option is not available with the bundled HP compiler, but that should
not be a problem; gcc can be build without '-g'. So just ignore the
warning.

Martin
