I did eventually get this built, mostly thanks to a silly -D__va_list=va_list,
then removing a bunch of libraries that I don't have or get.  This was very
painful due to the opaque, unusual build.  Does anyone know a better way of
affecting it, other than hacking in a script in place of the cc soft link?

For the record, the linker flags I need to remove are -lfsg -ljobs -lsecdb -li
...I suppose the above can be closed, unless any of the above has to do with
pkgsrc rather than upstream.

P.S.  I thought perhaps static-ast-ksh might be a little better in
respect to the above, but had completely different problems.  One is
that the Makefile adds in -static, but that's only a gcc flag.  With
HP's compiler, it should be -minshared instead.
