As far as I know, gnu ld does not support HP-UX and I am not aware of
any effort of the GNU people to build one. I don't know why this is the
case. From the past (I use HP-UX for a decade), GCC also could not generate
debugger support in the object files (-g not supported), which was due to
HP not revealing the technical details. Now, that GDB is the standard
debugger for HP-UX, this is of course different.
HP's 32bit object format is somewhat proprietary, but the 64bit format
now is standard ELF. I therefore suspect, that nobody will spend the time
to adapt GNU ld for HP.
Best regards,
Lutz
