Yes, I believe that this is correct. The HP libc doesn't provide the support needed prior to 11.11. There is a HP web page that shows the timeline for the addition of various C95 (NA 2) and C99 features. Even with 11.11, the initial bootstrap requires special defines to allow configure to detect the wide character support (there is an issue with the declaration of iconv). I use for 4.x 32-bit builds with gcc versions prior to 4.0.0: export CC="gcc -D_XOPEN_UNIX -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -D_INCLUDE__STDC_A1_SOURCE -D_INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_500" Dave -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17005
