You really don't want to do that. I strongly recommend against it. In
5 years of working on a system which had hpux compatibility we had zero
need to do this kind of stuff and it just makes things a lot more complicated
than they need to be.
If we wanted to build an hpux app, we had a set of tools to build hpux apps.
