That's odd, considering that someone else reported 7.1 worked fine on
HPUX 11, and we haven't changed this configure test since then.

No, the macro knows that the third argument is pointer-to-something;
it's trying to figure out pointer-to-what.

What had configure selected so far for compiler, cflags, etc? Maybe
it's blowing the game at that stage. Or maybe the test is failing to
include all the needed include files to define these datatypes.

In general, the config.log output is a good thing to post when puzzled
by configure problems.
