break statement not within loop or switch

Hello!

While I try to compile latest kaffe-snap on HP-UX 10.20 I get following
error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/proski/local/src/kaffe-snap/kaffe'
make[2]: Entering directory

The problem is apparently not in kaffe/kaffevm/external.c, but in
kaffe/kaffevm/shlib.h at the line 86, where break is actually used "not
within loop or switch". Possible fix could be:

=========================
man shl_findsym says:
"This routine returns 0 if successful; otherwise -1 is returned."
So, if the symbol is not found, we set FUNC to 0. Other implementations of
LIBRARYFUNCTION do the same thing. Please note that Kaffe doesn't work on
HP-UX now, so I can't test it!
