Actually for binary compatibility the linker & X server tended to exercise
the most useful bits.  Or more correctly, those were the hpux bins we (UofU)
wanted to run most badly and thus that's were we concentrated our effort :-)

If you look in Utah's code you'll find the majority of the hpux compat code;
though it will need some updating since those releases predated hpux10 and
hpux11.

Presumably you're thinking about firing up the hpux shell instead of a mini
shell the first time we attempt to get to single user using hpux compat?
