Dear David and other ones, who are involved,

yesterday I tried to compile 'patch-2.0.12g8' on a
HP9000/730 running HP-UX 8.07

The following problem occurred
	% configure
	  [...]
	% make
		cc -c -g  -I. version.c
		cc -g backupfile.o getopt.o getopt1.o inp.o patch.o pch.o util.o
	 version.o   -lPW -o patch
	/bin/ld: Duplicate symbol "fatal" in /lib/libPW.a(fatal.o)
	/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
	   Error (data)
	/bin/ld: Found 1 duplicate symbol(s)
	*** Error code 1

	Stop

In  ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk:/hpux/Gnu/tar-1.111.tar.Z
I found some ideas, how to get it working.
I changed:

And it compiled quite well. At least, the result of the compilation
came along with the context diff above. Looking at "configure" I had
no idea where to insert it. So I came to the conclusion to leave it
to someone familiar with the stuff.

A copy of the 'patch'-directory with the original and changed files
will go to  ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk  and be available there for HP users
(At least I hope so! ;-) )

Good luck
(and thanks for the good software)
