Thats my fault!  In blissful ignorance, I just cd'd into the boehm-gc
directory in the tree and typed "./configure".  boehm-gc isn't normally
built under HPUX, so this seemed like the easiest way to test that my
changes were safe.  I'm not even sure how much of boehm-gc/configure is
shared with the upstream package.  If the answer is not at all, and
this script is never invoked with the host compiler, please ignore my
changes.  Indeed, I believe Jeff Sturm's recent merge has already fixed
the main problem I was trying to address.

I'm sorry for the confusion.
