I think I know what is going on (it seems to be a make/gmake incompatibility), but to fix it, I need to rewrite some of the HP-UX packaging code, and I need a HP-UX user to help test this.

I ended up just using GNU make, but this really needs to be cleaned up
at some point. Any testers for HP-UX packaging?

I filed an issue for the FreeBSD side:
