Well, OK.  You're excused ;-)

I guess what I was really trying to ask was, "what is the
config.guess triplet associated with the brokenness?"
Presumably, this would include some version cut off whereafter
even HP-UX would not have this fix applied.  This way, we can
retire the hack in a decade or two :-)
