Ja, I have offered to include this in the README.hpux (with appropriate credits to the person who provides the recipe), if someone will provide the recipe. The recipe must be step by step, and include all the steps necessary to get it to work.
No one has provided this. (And I do not have time to figure it out myself, since I have a working version (which I have documented in the README.hpux), using the HP softbench compiler.
