While still working to prove Bob wrong on the fixincludes sed issues,
I found out that current toplevel config.status hits the program length

config.status: creating Makefile
sed: There are too many commands for the
s&@abs_builddir@&/home/rwild/gcc/build-hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11&;t t function.
This is due to the large number of commands added to $extrasub in
configure.ac (around 80 in this case); the limit is (autoconf.info):
It's been the case for eons that various configury bits have blown out
the hpux-sed. I vaguely recall hacks in Cygnus's trees to split big sed
scripts into smaller pieces -- but with my hpux machines gathering
layers of dust, I haven't kept a copy of the script.
