Re: 64-bit version?

There is no reason a 32 bit gnu make won't work on a 64 bit HP-UX
system.  64 bit HP-UX systems are capable of running both 32 bit and 64
bit executables.  If you look at the standard HP make
(/usr/ccs/bin/make) you will see that it and indeed, most of the HP
commands, are still 32 bits.

If you build GNU make (or most any other opensource tool) on a 64 bit
system it will still default to building 32 bit binaries because the
system can support both and one of them had to be chosen as the default.
For now, 32 bits was chosen as the default behaviour and 64 bits has to
be requested by using a target, host, and/or build option to something
like hppa64-hp-hpux11.00 during the configure in order to get 64 bit
binaries.
