?!? hpux11 has been out for about 2.5 years. I wrote support for it
shortly after it came out (I had access beta versions of hpux11).
hpux11 support just missed the cut-off for inclusion into gcc-2.95.
Older versions of hpux have been supported for a long long time.

Nope. Largely it's a ton of non-standard hacks required to make
the tools work with hpux.
