Should be no problem.

 -DUSG            correct
 -DUSGr3          wrong - HP-UX isn't Release 3 
 -DHPUX           correct
 -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT  correct
  LOADLIBES=-lPW  wrong - libPW should be avoided like the plague

Another plague to avoid is CFLAGS = -O. Use CFLAGS = +O1 after you have
checked that the program goes. The -O option only exists so the folks
at HP can make slow core dumps  :-)

None needed.

NIH.
