Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


The emacs configure script identifies hppa-*-openbsd* as the wrong
platform, hp9000s300 instead of hp800. As the name might suggest,
OpenBSD/hppa is for HP machines with PA-RISC processors, and not
Motorola 68k.  A quick glance at the NetBSD section of the configure
script should confirm this.

The following patch allows emacs 22.2 to build for me on my hppa box,
otherwise the configure script bails with the "your platform is
obsolete" message and exit code 33.

    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
