Your best bet is to fetch a precompiled binary from somewhere --
HPUX is not one of the main gcc platforms, and building gcc on it
used to be a major pain (and apparently continues to be).

HPUX is one of the platforms on which foo.o contains compilation
timestamp, so compiling the same file twice produces (slightly)
different objects.

I am not sure how gcc build system deals with this, or what the
magic incantations are to skip the identity check.

Is there a reason you can't use precomiled binaries ?
