no - there's more info in config.log, which may show something.  Lynx is
using an include from WWW/Library/unix/makefile to WWW/Library/Implementation
which I autoconf'd to the extent of checking for the known variations.

(perhaps your HPUX doesn't, thought it worked on the HP-UX 9.05 system we had)

the place to start looking is in the shell substitutions and permissions.
