This has been a problem with HP-UX 10.20 and gcc ever since UV_MAX
was added to perl.h and util.c. "make" dies in util.c​:
  CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_HPUX_SOURCE -I/usr/local/include -O
  `sh cflags libperl.a util.o` util.c
  CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_HPUX_SOURCE -I/usr/local/include -O
  util.c​: In function `Perl_cast_iv'​:
  util.c​:2716​: parse error before `l'
  make​: *** [util.o] Error 1

This happens because of the following two defines​:
  /usr/include/inttypes.h​:119​:#define UINT32_MAX UINT32_C(4294967295)
  perl.h​:1036​:#define UV_MAX UINT32_MAX
These set each macro to the undigestable value of​:
  4294967295u l

My work-around was to insert the following lines into perl.h
immediately after line 1036​:
  #undef UV_MAX
  #define UV_MAX 4294967295u
Then all was well.

However, I don't know whether perl.h line 1036 should become
something like this​:
  # ifdef WHAT_GOES_HERE?
  # define UV_MAX UINT32_MAX
  # else
  # define UV_MAX 4294967295
  # endif
or instead if something should be done in hints/hpux.sh .

Good luck,

Well, this sounds so genuinely HP-UX-broken that for the moment
I'm tempted to use

#if defined(__hpux__) && defined(__GNUC__) && UV_MAX == l
# undef UV_MAX
# define UV_MAX 4294967295u
#endif

Oops, sorry, I misread the message. UV_MAX is not l, it is
4294967295u l. Right...
