bug#86: HP-UX 11.X build/runtime issues for emacs 22.2

Thanks for your bug reports.

Thanks.  I've added a check for getrlimit to the configure script.

I can't find this line in the sources.  Could you be more specific about
this problem?

> src/getloadavg.c declares an "nl" struct nlist array at line 493.

Okay, I've renamed it to name_list.  Hopefully that will solve the
problem.

Does this actually stop compilation?

Fixed, thanks.

These changes will appear in Emacs 22.3, as well as the forthcoming
Emacs 23.1 release.

One additional request: since you have access to HP-UX, could you try
compiling the Emacs CVS trunk (which will become Emacs 23), and report
any problem you encounter?

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. Emacs 22 is very old and has not been supported
for some time. The latest version is 23.3. Please open new reports for
any issues you have with the new version.
