Thanks, this bug was fixed in gnulib in June 2011, as commit 0f247f994ecf88c40563c2d264536a1aa7634b33.

On HP-UX 11.31 configure fails:
[...]
checking for mmap... yes
checking for MAP_ANONYMOUS... There seems to be no Makefile in this directory.
You must run ./configure before running `make'.
make: *** [abort-due-to-no-makefile] Error 1
[...]

The problem is in the configure file saying:
$EGREP "I cant identify this map."
where EGREP was set to fn_grep, which recognizes the pattern as a regex because of the contained ".".

Manually patching configure to ommit the "." seems to work without problems:
sed -i 's/map\./map/' configure

(The problem is present both in the 2.8 and 2.9 tar balls.)
