@@ -53,6 +53,23 @@ If you run the tests on a SunOS4.1.4 system, expect the ctime-part of
the ls `time-1' test to fail. I believe that is due to a bug in the
way Sun implemented link(2) and chmod(2).
+A known problem exists when compiling on HPUX on both hppa and ia64
+in 64-bit mode (i.e. +DD64) on all known HPUX 11.x versions. This
+is not due to a bug in the package but instead due to a bug in the
+system header file which breaks things in 64-bit mode. The default
+compilation mode is 32-bit and the software compiles fine using the
+default mode. To build this software in 64-bit mode you will need
+to fix the system /usr/include/inttypes.h header file. After
+correcting that file the software also compiles fine in 64-bit mode.
+Here is one possible patch to correct the problem.

There are pretty many tests, but nowhere near as many as we need.
Additions and corrections are very welcome.
