libpcap-1.0.0 configure error on HP-UX 11.11 and 11.31

In a fit of curiousity I downloaded libpcap-1.0.0 and tried to do a ./configure on HP-UX 11.11 (aka 11iv1) and 11.31 (aka 11iv3) and in both cases I get

checking if --disable-protochain option is specified... enabled
./configure[6236]: Syntax error at line 6659 : `newline or ;' is not expected.

It appears that this:

        for ac_header in
do
as_ac_Header=`echo "ac_cv_header_$ac_header" | $as_tr_sh`

is what it complains about - I'm guessing that the HP-UX shell doesn't like there to not be anything after "in" for if I add a '""' after the in the configure script appears to complete on 11.11 and 11.31.

Is this a known problem?

happy benchmarking,
