To add to the confusion:
When I just copy the build from HP-UX 11.31 over to 11.23, all seems to
work fine. I *DO* expect that to work the other way around, but this
experiment just worked which is a huge surprise to me.
I tried to build 8.4.7, because 9.0.3 failed soon after start, because
11.23 doesn't have HP-UX 11.23 doesn't seem to have "struct lifconf"
defined anywhere, so starting with 8.4.7 sounded like a more sane idea
FWIW I also tried with 9.0.3 and SIOCGLIFCONF undefined and IPV6
disabled, but that ended up with the same FATAL incompatible library
