samba - Jan 2011 - Compiler error while building Samba 3.5.6

I am trying to build Samba 3.5.6 on an HP-UX 11.11 system, and I get
this error:

Compiling libsmb/libsmb_thread_impl.c
In file included from ./../nsswitch/winbind_nss.h:54,
                 from ./../nsswitch/winbind_nss_config.h:49,
                 from ./../nsswitch/winbind_client.h:1,
                 from include/includes.h:681,
                 from libsmb/libsmb_thread_impl.c:20:
./../nsswitch/winbind_nss_hpux.h:133: error: field '__h_errno' declared
as a function

I'm using gcc (4.2.3) and GNU make (3.8.2) to do this. Any ideas as to
what I might do to fix this?

Thanks.....

Stan

You might try the attached patch from master. If you want
this to be fixed in 3.5.7, please open a bug report at
https://bugzilla.samba.org.
