Because hpux 10.20 didn't supply its own snprintf, so you set up the
build system so that GNU snprintf's definition was found (and correct,
for that matter). Now you're running into another problem - hpux 11.0
decided to include a snprintf function in its library. But the damn
fools gave it the wrong prototype.
SO:
1) Problem 1 - using the HP/UX snprintf won't work because it takes a
char * format string instead of a const char * format string. Bad HP/UX
programmers. I forbid you to merge with Compaq...
2) Problem 2 - using the GNU snprintf on HP/UX 11.0 won't work because
now there are 2 definitions of the same function. This is a compiler
error.
So HP/UX basically just screwed you by doing a half-assed job when
including a snprintf function in their library. Sorry.

Annoy and pester them in a rude way until they do what you want them to.
