I'm a bit out of touch because our HP test box has been offline for a few
years.
I think certainly on HP-UX 10 you should be using GNU as or you don't get
any debug information built. On HP-UX 11 I think that's been fixed although
it looks like you've still got a choice between the native assembler and
having to ignore the bootstrap comparison or just using the GNU assembler
instead. I don't think you have any choice with the linker though: the GNU
linker doesn't (or didn't) support HP's executable format so you have to use
the native one.
