I've had little trouble building many varieties of GCC on a 32-bit HP
machine. (If you're willing to trust the bootstrap compare you can even
do it with the system assembler for 32-bit at least.) The *really
important bit* is that you need GNU make: HP make will attempt to
regenerate many different files that it doesn't need to, and that's
where you get many dependencies on other pieces of software such as
bison.

Yes they do - see the 'host / target specific installation notes'.

Type 'gcc' into the search box on http://www.hp.com. They provide both
native 32- and 64-bit compiler binaries for HPUX 11 and 11i.
There's also a 'Binaries' link on the main GCC page where you'll find
the 'Software Porting And Archive Centre for HP-UX' but I think they
only have a 32-bit binary.
