From the manual page

      -Amode         Specify the compilation standard to be used by the
                     compiler.  mode can be one of the following letters:


-------------------------8<------------------------------------------

                        e    Extended ANSI mode.  Same as -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE
                             +e. This would define the names (macros and
                             typedefs) provided by the HPUX Operating System
                             and, in addition, allow the following
                             extensions: $ characters in identifier names,
                             sized enums, sized bit-fields, and 64-bit
                             integral type long long. Additional extensions
                             may be added to this option in the future.


	Basicaly if you use -Aa to get ANSI C then you get just ANSI C
	and no access to normal Unix features. by using various -D
	options you can select the standard you would like to conform
	to. -D_HPUX_SOURCE allows access to the full range of features.
	-Ae is a quicker way to get this.
