They can, -fno-builtin.  But that's really not solving the underlying
problem.  HP changed the type of size_t and/or ptrdiff_t between hpux10
and hpux11.  For a variety of reasons gcc needs to know the precise
definitions of those types.  When gcc has the wrong definitions of those
types a variety of bad things happen.

It is also necessary to add some cpp predefines to make hpux11 work
correctly.
