Unfortunately, this HP-UX server is not mine. But I've asked Matthias  
Broenner for some information, which he's returned:

from the System:

swlist

     B9007AA                       B.11.11.16     HP C/aC++  
Developer's Bundle
     PHSS_36086                    1.0            ANSI C compiler
B.11.11.16 cumulative patch



Kybelle:/root # uname -a
HP-UX Kybelle B.11.11 U 9000/785 2015103231 unlimited-user license


Is there any other specific information you need?

The full log file for a successful compile (when we added  
mbstate_t.m4) is here:

The log confirms it is a vendor cc.
