I try to compile octave-2.1.7 on hp-ux 9

when making kpathsea i get the following problem :

./klibtool link gcc -o kpsewhich   kpsewhich.o
../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la  -lm
gcc -o kpsewhich kpsewhich.o ../kpathsea/STATIC/libkpathsea.a -lm
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
   __builtin_va_start (code)

the previous step seems ok :

ln -s ./kpathsea.version klibtool.version
./klibtool archive ar cq ../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la tex-file.lo
absolute.lo atou.lo cnf.lo concat.lo concat3.lo concatn.lo db.lo
debug.lo dir.lo elt-dirs.lo expand.lo extend-fname.lo file-p.lo
find-suffix.lo fn.lo fontmap.lo getopt.lo getopt1.lo hash.lo kdefault.lo
line.lo magstep.lo make-suffix.lo path-elt.lo pathsearch.lo proginit.lo
progname.lo readable.lo rm-suffix.lo str-list.lo str-llist.lo
tex-glyph.lo tex-hush.lo tex-make.lo tilde.lo truncate.lo uppercasify.lo
variable.lo version.lo xcalloc.lo xfopen.lo xfseek.lo xftell.lo
xgetcwd.lo xmalloc.lo xopendir.lo xputenv.lo xrealloc.lo xstat.lo
xstrdup.lo basename.lo
cd ../kpathsea/STATIC && rm -f libkpathsea.a libkpathsea.a* && ar cq
libkpathsea.a tex-file.o absolute.o atou.o cnf.o concat.o concat3.o
concatn.o db.o debug.o dir.o elt-dirs.o expand.o extend-fname.o file-p.o
find-suffix.o fn.o fontmap.o getopt.o getopt1.o hash.o kdefault.o line.o
magstep.o make-suffix.o path-elt.o pathsearch.o proginit.o progname.o
readable.o rm-suffix.o str-list.o str-llist.o tex-glyph.o tex-hush.o
tex-make.o tilde.o truncate.o uppercasify.o variable.o version.o
xcalloc.o xfopen.o xfseek.o xftell.o xgetcwd.o xmalloc.o xopendir.o
xputenv.o xrealloc.o xstat.o xstrdup.o basename.o && ranlib
libkpathsea.a
ranlib: ar already did it for you, see ar(1).
INSTALL_DATA='./install-sh -c -m 644' ./klibtool install-lib .
libkpathsea.la
./install-sh -c -m 644 ./STATIC/libkpathsea.a ./libkpathsea.a


It seems i need to give an extra library as parameter to find
__builtin_va_start
Any solutions??

Thanks Rene
