I've attached the portion in question of my config.log -- I don't
understand why it appears to be trying signatures of char (*)().

I'm far from a configure expert, but I'd be willing to do what I can.
However I have no AIX access, only HP-UX 11.11 and 11.00 (although the
latter box may not stay around long).

BTW, I tried dynamic-loading some pieces of zsh, which is by default
all configured off on HP-UX.  It looks to work on 11.11.

Yes, this does, but when resorting to that wouldn't it be best to make
it version-specific?  Unfortunately I don't see any suitable macros.

No, it seems to be finding poll() alright, although I editted that
portion out of the attached log file.
