If you pick up the compiler patch off of "support.mayfield.hp.com" it
comes with a new manual page:

          -Ae               Extended ANSI mode.  Same as -D_HPUX_SOURCE and
                             -Aa and allows the following extensions: $
                             characters can appear in identifier names, and
                             enum declarations can include integral type
                             specifiers.  Additional extensions may be added
                             to this option in the future.

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.

c89 does not recognize the -Ae option. However cc does. It means
enable some HP-UX specific extensions to the compiler. These are
to define _HPUX_SOURCE to see all HPUX supported functions and to
add some language extensions. They only one I can remember is 'short enum'.
Judging by the fact it is not documented in the latest man pages makes me
think it is an option for which support is being removed.

dude-
the previous posters were right about including HP SOURCE stuff, but what 
you may want to do is futz around in your include directories to find out 
what THAT means. On my system (similar to yours) it means POSIX 
compliance ramifications. 
Personally, I find the Ae the way to go to be most inclusive of all 
options and services. Don't forget to strip when you're ready for 
production.
