I do expect a pretty good level of source compatibility (90%+). On the PARISC OS's, even a degree of binary compatibility. Provided details, I can forward things not covered by HPUX to the right people (caveat: no guarantee they will get fixed...). And you are welcome to post patches for stuff in either 32 or 64-bit parisc-linux kernels here.
