[OpenAFS-devel] objdir broken on hpux

[Neulinger, Nathan]

Only reason I'm doing it on hpux is cause I like to have some of the =
recent features of the command line tools. (I'll fall back to old afsd =
if necessary, but I still prefer recent vos/pts/etc.)

BTW, Derrick, any news on the hpux kernel front?

For some reason, it doesn't build the objdir directories, and thereby =
can't build the Makefiles in the subdirs/etc. It really looks ugly. It's =
most likely some autoconf screwup on hpux platform.=20
