In terms of the rocket science involved in the compiler, this is simply
not a problem that's Jeff-worthy. Solving this problem needs someone
with access to a reasonable compiler and at least remedial shell
scripting abilities that can spin a binary release once in a while.
And if nobody steps forward to place even that much effort on HP-UX,
then can this whole HP-UX data point be optimized away and get back
to the question of whether GCC can be written in a formally described
language?
