On HP-UX 11.00 with gcc, I'm seeing this error:
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -DGNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING=1 -I. -I. -I.. -I./..
-I../gllib -I./../gllib -Wall -MT test-termios-c++.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo
-c -o test-termios-c++.o test-termios-c++.cc
In file included from test-termios-c++.cc:22:
/usr/include/sys/termio.h:290: error: previous declaration of 'pid_t
tcgetsid(int)' with 'C++' linkage
../gllib/termios.h:353: error: conflicts with new declaration with 'C' linkage
test-termios-c++.cc:28: warning: 'signature_check28' defined but not used
*** Error exit code 1
The reason is that /usr/include/sys/termio.h is lacking an 'extern "C"'
specifier for the tcgetsid declaration. This patch provides a workaround.

tcgetsid: Correct linkage in C++ mode on HP-UX 11.00.
* lib/termios.in.h: In C++ mode, on HP-UX, include <sys/termios.h> with
C linkage.
* doc/posix-functions/tcgetsid.texi: Mention the HP-UX 11.00 bug.
