?!?  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.

If I only had the time to detail everything :-)

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