 Thanks, that does get me past that error... any reason that macro couldn't
 be defaulted automatically for the platform?
 
 For what it's worth, the gcc build still fails later on in binutils, but
 of course that's a different issue.  From what I've seen before, gcc
 generally works better on hpux without using nu binutils anyway.
