It looks like you don't have a powerful-enough C compiler to compile GNU
make.  I'm not familiar with the native HPUX compiler so I can't say for
sure, but it looks like they provide a minimal compiler standard, and if
you want a more capable one presumably you have to purchase it
separately.

Probably if you searched with Google you could find a place to download
pre-built versions of GNU make and even GCC, the GNU project's compiler
which is quite capable.

I thought that GNU make 3.81 would build properly even with a very old C
compiler like this, but it's been harder and harder to test.  You might
try building one of the older versions of GNU make and see if that works
for you.
