That's peculiar, but I'll accept it. It must come from not calling
pxdb or trying to parse system libraries for debug information, since
the hpacc-abi.c code apparently has not been enabled in years; I went
trying to figure out how it was turned on today and lo and behold, it
never is.

I checked in the patch. Steve, Eli, does this NEWS addition look
reasonable? I believe it's accurate for what I've removed, but I am
not a user of HP-UX or aCC, so I'm guessing a little bit.
