Worse, gcc 2.95.2 is *not* supported on HP/UX 11.0 (works quite well on
10.20 - but the place where I was trying this out had 11.0 installed).
And any HP/UX requires a lot of patching (default = perl 4, sendmail 8.7
etc)

Oh yes. That's for sure - but solaris is much better even in that, imho.

HP/UX - 1. RISC hardware. 2. s/w, devel tools optimized heavily for
hardware.

solaris is quite easy to find - dont think there are many AIX installs
around (outside of IBM India of course) :)
