How did you do that exactly?

A bit of grepping shows that it failed here:

ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 optlen = sizeof(optval);

if (getsockopt(conn->sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR,
(char *) &optval, &optlen) == -1)
{
appendPQExpBuffer(&conn->errorMessage,
libpq_gettext("could not get socket error status: %s\n"),
SOCK_STRERROR(SOCK_ERRNO, sebuf, sizeof(sebuf)));

The most likely bet seems to be that optlen isn't of the width the
kernel is expecting, which would imply that configure didn't choose
the type ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 correctly, which would imply that HP's
done something weird and unlike every other platform. Which would
not be too much of a surprise :-(. Or possibly you gave configure
some inconsistent arguments that confused it.
