My lack of experience with configure make it hard to
submit a patch, so I'll ask python-dev first.

If that's too much I'll have a go, but it will take a while.

These are the settings that we use:

HP/RISC 32-bit:

    c89 -c +DA2.0 +DS2.0 +Z -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT
    aCC -c +DA2.0 +DS2.0 +Z -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT
    aCC    +DA2.0 +DS2.0 +Z -Wl,+s -Wl,+k ... -lpthread

HP/RISC 64-bit:

    c89 -c +DA2.0W +DS2.0a +Z -D_REENTRANT
    aCC -c +DA2.0W +DS2.0a +Z -D_REENTRANT
    aCC    +DA2.0W +DS2.0a +Z -Wl,+s -Wl,+k ... -lpthread

HP/ITANIUM 64-bit:

    cc -c  +DD64 +DSitanium2 -Ae -mt -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L
    aCC -c +DD64 +DSitanium2 -AP -mt
    aCC    +DD64 +DSitanium2 -AP -mt -Wl,+k -Wl,+s

NOTE: the multithreading flags (-D_REENTRANT -mt) should only
be applied to the files where there is actually threaded code.
When applied to all files indiscriminately, they cause overall
performance degradation.
AFAIK the files with threaded code are:
thread.c
threadmodule.c

We also found that if the build is linked without specifying
the thread library, the build appears fine, but threading
doesn't happen at run-time.
