I agree that they are probably using the wrong assembler.  I don't
believe that the HP provided assembler will work on HP-UX IA64 but I
haven't tried it in a while (it did fail when I last tried it over a
year ago).  The GNU linker has not been ported to HP-UX IA64 so you do
need to use the HP linker.  We should probably add this to the install
docs, along with a note that you need to use
--enable-libunwind-exceptions when configuring to use the HP unwind
library.

Should this go into gcc/doc/install.texi?  I could probably try creating
an entry for ia64-*-hpux* if you think that is what we should do.
