Yes, I have built this on ia64-hpux before.  It always gave a warning
because it didn't see the declaration of getc_unlocked in stdio.h.  This
is because _REENTRENT is not defined and the HP-UX header file only
defines getc_unlocked when _REENTRENT is defined.  But the warning
didn't cause any problem when using the routine.  It is just that the
warning now causes an error due to -Werror.

I'll see if I can figure out how GCC is handling this and copy that.
