Hi,

dug into the problem a bit more, syslog-ng OSE 3.3 (probably 3.4 too)
needs some porting work before it can be compiled under HP-UX. The
underlying problem is that syslog-ng has been re-written to be
multi-threaded, modular application in 3.2, from it's original single
threaded monolithic architecure. The rewrite added new dependencies
(ivykis) and other required features from the compilers
(Thread-local storage support), which made porting to older systems a
challenge, although the work has been already done, but not every piece
has been added to syslog-ng OSE from the PE branch and not publicly
documented.

What I managed to solve for now:
- need the following patches:
  PHCO_24402                    1.0            libc cumulative header file patch 
  PHCO_38279                    1.0            libc cumulative patch 
  PHKL_31918                    1.0            fsadm;ACL;locking order;8K mount;readdir 
  PHSS_30049                    1.0            ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch

- download and install GCC for HPUX[1] and make sure it's location
  (/opt/hp-gcc/bin) is in PATH, prepeding every other gcc location you
  have.

- edit configure.in and remove all occurences of -Wl,-whole-archive and
  -Wl,-no-whole-archive and regenerate configure with autoconf 2.68. If you
  don't have autoconf 2.68, edit directly configure and remove the
  strings.

- add the following to lib/compat.h:
#ifndef CLOCK_MONOTONIC
#define CLOCK_MONOTONIC CLOCK_REALTIME
#endif

- cd lib/ivykis and compile, build and install the bundled ivykis by hand.

- re-run your configure command with the following options added:
  --with-ivykis=system --disable-mongodb

Hopefully it compiles properly, but I too tired to check it now.
Good luck,
