Building gtk+ is a pain on HP-UX, Tru64, IRIX

[Atro Tossavainen <atossava cc helsinki fi>]

Is there a reason why building gtk+ has to be such a pain in non-
Linux environments? (Surprisingly, it built on Solaris after the
-lpango-1.0 issue was fixed.)

I've now spent hours trying different combinations of gcc or native
cc, this and that, on Tru64, IRIX and HP-UX, and am getting nowhere.

Are there some particular pitfalls I should be aware of?  The 
installation documentation isn't very helpful on platform-specific
issues.

Latest Alpha/Tru64 error:
