The compiler formerly known as Compaq C (and even more formerly known as DEC C) has been rebranded to HP C. In #21933 I guessed that it would be hp C, (lower case), but the new version currently in field test has it as HP C. If we don't recognize the compiler correctly, all sorts of other bad things happen and the build fails. If you've had trouble building on the Itanium testdrive machine lately, this is probably the reason. It would be nice if this could make it into 5.8.7.
