+HPUX 11.x build failure
+-----------------------
A known problem exists when compiling on HPUX on both hppa and ia64
-in 64-bit mode (i.e. +DD64) on all known HPUX 11.x versions. This
+in 64-bit mode (i.e. +DD64) on HP-UX 11.0, 11.11, and 11.23. This
is not due to a bug in the package but instead due to a bug in the
system header file which breaks things in 64-bit mode. The default
compilation mode is 32-bit and the software compiles fine using the
default mode. To build this software in 64-bit mode you will need
to fix the system /usr/include/inttypes.h header file. After
correcting that file the software also compiles fine in 64-bit mode.
-Here is one possible patch to correct the problem.

+Running tests as root:
+----------------------
+
If you run the tests as root, note that a few of them create files
and/or run programs as a non-root user, `nobody' by default.
If you want to use some other non-root username, specify it via
user, and then to run the following command as that user in order
to run the privilege-requiring tests:
- sudo env NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER make check
+ sudo env NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER make -k check
If you can run the tests as root, please do so and report any
problems. We get much less test coverage in that mode, and it's
arguably more important that these tools work well when run by
root than when run by less privileged users.
+
+***************
+Reporting bugs:
+---------------
+
+IMPORTANT: if you take the time to report a test failure,
+please be sure to include the output of running `make check'
+in verbose mode for each failing test. For example,
+if the test that fails is tests/mv/hard-link-1, then you
+would run this command:
+
+ env VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/mv TESTS=hard-link-1 >> log 2>&1
+
+For some tests, you can get even more detail by including
+DEBUG=yes in the environment:
+
+ env DEBUG=yes VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/mv TESTS=hard-link-1 >> log 2>&1
+
+and then include the contents of the file `log' in your bug report.
