3.42 build successful on HP-UX 11.00 700 series

[Dave Hamm <mz295r at powertrain dot mpg dot gm dot com>]

Hello,

  I have been able to build GCC v3.42 successfully under HP-UX 11.00,
 on a 700 series machine. I do not see that version currently
 listed on your site. Nor is it currently on the HP portal site for 
 HP-UX 11.00,  HP 700 series.

gcc version 3.4.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------

 To build, I first compiled "binutils" v2.15, applied it, then
 compiled GCC v3.42 with an existing HP-UX version of GCC v3.32.
 
 I was able to obtain "binutils" from    http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/
 
 %/usr/local/bin/as --version

 Built with GCC v3.32, which was *once* available from
 the HP porting center at   http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess the important thing to pass along is that I used the option
"--with-system-ld" and "--with-ld=/usr/bin/ld"

As under HP-UX, I had trouble using the GNU or binutils "ld" for the builds:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
%/usr/bin/ld -V
92453-07 linker command s800.sgs ld PA64 B.11.41 REL 040808
/usr/bin/ld: 92453-07 linker linker ld B.11.41 040911
/usr/bin/ld: Usage:  /usr/bin/ld [options] [flags] files
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "bounds checking patch" for v3.42 under HP-UX found nothing.
Presumably, it was not needed for GCC v3.42 under HP-UX 11.00.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other helpful information is in the README:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The BFD ("binary file description") library, the readline library,
and other libraries all have directories of their own underneath
the GDB debugger sources.

On HP-UX, GDB requires FLEX, BISON, and M4

HP-UX Build-time dependencies:

         autoconf bison db flex gawk m4 make perl texinfo

HP-UX Run-time dependencies:

         gettext libiconv

         - the above also requires:

              tcltk
