We have GAS installed on our HPUX 9.05 machines,
and use it with the GCC install.
Its not hard to install GAS, as I recall
(but its been a while...).
However I have to admit I haven't tried gdb with it our
GCC/GAS (I don't write codes with bugs, so I don't need
a debugger ;-)). (Actually I do think
some of our users have used gdb with our
gdb and c ad c++ programs...I'll ask around.)
I'm sorry I don't know more about hpux, too!
