HP Catch 22

[Jeffrey A Law]

I don't know why you're having so many problems; I actually do all my
development on PAs, so it really does work.

Let's not worry about gas/binutils now.  Let's first find out why you
got a bootstrap failure using the HP assembler.  This is supposed to
work, if it doesn't that indicates a bug somewhere that needs to be
fixed.

So, do you still have those build directories lying around (with the
comparison failure)?  If not, can you recreate them?
