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

[Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>]

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.

> src/tparam.c declares a tparam() function at line 95 onwards. This is

Does this actually stop compilation?

> src/term.c has uninitialised static char * variables at lines 2179 to

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.
