Oops, a little too much snippage.

Just above this area in the config.log, you will see
configure trying to compile different versions of this
routine.

Each time it gets a failure, you will see the error it got,
and then it tries another variation.
It fails because it can't find any variation that works.

On my HPUX 11.11 system, using "cc" (not gcc), this is
the version that works:

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int
main ()
{
extern select (int,
 fd_set *, fd_set *, fd_set *,
 struct timeval *);
  ;
  return 0;
}

Does this compile without errors for you? If not what
errors do you get?
