(Building on HP 9000/300)

I'm having problems building write.c from the gas-1.34 distribution on
prep.ai.mit.edu.  The offending section is

   md_number_to_chars((char *)&the_exec.a_machtype, EXEC_MACHINE_TYPE, sizeof(the_exec.a_machtype));

What I've fixed so far is the original definition

#define EXEC_MACHINE_TYPE HP9000S200_ID

which only makes sense when you rewrite as

#ifdef hpux
#include <magic.h>
#define EXEC_MACHINE_TYPE HP9000S200_ID
#endif

(HP9000S200_ID is defined in HP's include only).  Also, there is
neither a a_machtype member in GNU a.out.h definition of the exec
structure, nor in the a_out.h on the HP.  The .o' that result from
this do not pass either GNU nm or HP-UX nm.  Can anyone offer to post
their working write.c etc for HP-UX?
