  Errr ... should not take days, really.

  Okay good to know :-)

  Well looking at configure is not useful for me, it's a generated file.
The source is configure.in .
Libxml configure.in does:
-------
if test "${GCC}" != "yes" ; then
    case "${host}" in
          *-*-hpux* )
               CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -Wp,-H30000"
               ;;
-------

  2 of those flags are added. I don't see -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE being
configured for the cc compiler on HP in libxml2, though it appears to
build, right ?
  Adding a similar check to the libxslt configure.in would probably
be sufficient to handle this issue. Does libxslt compilation really
requires -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE ? From my recollection -Aa means to
use ANSI C I just can't believe it's not the default in 2002, really !
-D_HPUX_SOURCE sounds baroke to me, it's not compiling anything really
related to HPUX so what is it for ?

  CFLAGS="-Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE -Wp, -H30000"
  export CFLAGS
  ./configure
  make
  make install

  Alternatively install and use gcc, it's free and work out of the box ;-)
