Follow-up Comment #1:

Trying 1.6 is a bit pointless ... it's so old!

If you check the platforms GNUstep runs on (there is a link to the list from
the FAQ in the user area of the website) you will see that HP/UX is neither
supported nor known to run on HP/UX.

That being said, portability of GNUstep is good and it should run on HP/UX
without much porting effort, and any changes needed to port 1.13 can easily
be integrated into GNUstep for the next release.  However full functionality 
will require a working copy of the ffcall or ffi library.

Looking at the trace it seems to be an HP/UX system header problem (eg one
header depending on another but not including it), or is some incompatibility
between a preprocessor constant defined in GNUstep and one the system headers
used.

That can be tedious to sort out ... you have to go through a trial and error
process of repositioning the include directives to see what other things
included before them might be messing them up.
