That would be great!

Looking at our build recipie and its comments:
CC=cc (cc: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.25.01)
CFLAGS="-z +O1 -Wp,-H,200000" (-H 20000 to avoid macro too large error in
dbusbind.c)
CPP=/usr/ccs/lbin/cpp (because cc -E doesn't create a working Makefile).

As I mentioned to Dan in an email yesterday, it may be worth looking at 
what the hpux porting folks did:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/wwwtar?/hpux/Editors/emacs-22.3/emacs-22.3-src-11.11.tar.gz+emacs-22.3/HPUX.Install+text

Hope this helps,
Peter
