The effect eventually is that on HP-UX v3 there are no os.major() and os.minor() functions. I tried to dig deeper to find out what's wrong, and it seems that 'configure' script fails on 'major' check and thus disables the 'major' feature: 'configure' finds well that /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h has makedev(), major(), minor() definitions (MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS==1). The problem is that including sys/sysmacros.h is not enough, it depends (but doesn't #include) sys/types.h for the definition of dev_t (needed by makedev() macro). See attached config.log for configure's behavior.
