Good news, bad news.

Good news: There will be a g++/gcc generating code for the HPPA
architecture.

Bad News: It's for the 4.3 BSD Unix OS (ported to the 800 by U. of Utah).
Most probably will not run on HP-UX without a few modifications for calling
conventions, et. al.

You might want to contact Mike Tiemann (tiemann@stanford.edu, the last that
I heard of), who is the creator of g++ and is porting it to HPPA.
