Just another compile failed on HP-UX 10.20. We are seeing a bunch of
these unfortunately.

Hm, not neccessarily! Well, depending on the machine state it can take
a while before a SIGKILL gets delivered to a process. But there is
another possibility. A process can be in a high priority sleep
(usually use when the process waits very very short time on
IO). Signals don't get delivered to a process who is currently in that
state. If the process is blocked on that particular IO you cannot
SIGKILL it.

Maybe force --with-dynamic to be yes.
