Yes, I believe that this is correct.  The HP libc doesn't provide
the support needed prior to 11.11.  There is a HP web page that shows
the timeline for the addition of various C95 (NA 2) and C99 features.
Even with 11.11, the initial bootstrap requires special defines to
allow configure to detect the wide character support (there is an
issue with the declaration of iconv).  I use for 4.x 32-bit builds
with gcc versions prior to 4.0.0:

export CC="gcc -D_XOPEN_UNIX -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -D_INCLUDE__STDC_A1_SOURCE
 -D_INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_500"
