I had to comment out the following lines in ltconfig and
hardcode my choice for echo:

#  IFS="${IFS=  }"; save_ifs="$IFS";
IFS="${IFS}${PATH_SEPARATOR}"
#  for dir in $PATH /usr/ucb; do
#    if (test -f $dir/echo || test -f $dir/echo$ac_exeext) &&
#       test "X`($dir/echo '\t') 2>/dev/null`" = 'X\t' &&
#       test "X`($dir/echo "$echo_test_string")2>/dev/null`"
= X"$echo_test_string"; then
#      echo="$dir/echo"
#      break
#    fi
#  done
#  IFS="$save_ifs"
echo=/usr/bin/echo

Not doing so keeps ltconfig in an infinite loop.


NOTE: I did not have to use the HPUX 10.20 installation
instructions by paul_mckay@clearwater-it.co.uk in the php
docs. I used the native hp ansi c compiler, and the change
to the configure script was not required.

In the latest CVS the libtool has been upgraded and the ltconfig file doesn't exist anymore. Could you please
try the latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/
to verify if it works now.

No feedback, considered fixed.

This problem can be resolved by running the following before the compile:

export ECHO="print -r"
