I installed this patch into gnulib to catch the problem there, too.

2007-10-16  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        Check for 64-bit int errors in HP-UX 10.20 preprocessor.
        Problem reported by H.Merijn Brand in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2007-10/msg00018.html>.
        * m4/longlong.m4 (AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT): Check preprocessor too.
        * m4/ulonglong.m4 (AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT): Likewise.
