What is this line all about?

+#if defined(__HP_aCC) || defined(__HP_cc)

There are no other compilers supported, so this seems redundant.

You're doing this:

-TMPFILE="$TMPDIR/genbkitmp$$.c"
+TMPFILE="$TMPDIR/genbkitmp$$.h"

I'm afraid this will not fly, because calling the preprocessor is only
portable on .c files.  Generally, it's also unwise to rely in this kind of
subtle side effect.  We need a general solution.
