Maybe I'm not being sufficiently sympathetic to HP-UX users, but as a
long-time Solaris user, I have to admit that I don't quite understand the
difficulties of downloading a binary version of GCC to use as a bootstrap
compiler.  Everyone who hasn't purchased Sun's commercial compiler has had
to do that to get GCC working for years now.  I've done it, and it's not
particularly hard.  Mildly annoying, sure, but not really that hard.

I guess it's easier on Solaris in that it's usually been possible to use
GCC built on Solaris 7 to bootstrap a build on Solaris 8 and so forth.  If
one has to download a bootstrap compiler after every OS upgrade, it's a
bit more of a hassle.
