Not GMP's fault that bison crashes.  Even if the input were
invalid, bison shouldn't crash.

Perhaps there is a bug in bison, perhaps it is a HP-UX bug,
perhaps the compiler miscompiled bison.

  If I change the main Makefile to not compile calc, I'm able to get make
  done but make check ends with the errors 
  sent in the previous e-mail.

  Configure has chosen gcc.

With 99% probability, this is a compiler bug.

You might want to try with a later gcc 3.4.x compiler.  You might
want to try lowering the optimization level (-On).
