When compiling on HPPA machines running HP-UX 8.0x you should add the
option: "+Obb1000".  The file awktab.c fails to compile without this
option.  The option sets the maximum number of basic blocks allowed
in a function to 1000.

I continue to get reports that gawk compiled with gcc (through 2.5.x) on the
hp9000 series 700 systems does not pass its test suite. When compiled with
hp's C compiler, it does fine.  If you compile with cc and it fails, then
let me hear about it please.  If you compile with gcc and then complain to
me, I'm going to fuss at you for not reading the documenation. (:-)

I'm told that with gcc 2.5.8, gawk now compiles.
