I tried this on my HP-UX 10.20 box, and it didn't work very nicely:
configure decided that the compiler accepted +Olibmerrno, so I got a
compile full of
cc: warning 450: Unrecognized option +Olibmerrno.
warnings. The reason is that PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT does not pay any
attention to whether the proposed flag generates a warning. That seems
like a bug --- is there any situation where we'd want to accept a flag
that does generate a warning? I'm thinking that macro should set
ac_c_werror_flag=yes, the same way PGAC_C_INLINE does.
