I'm sorry that HP upset you but I have no connection with HP.

I could provide alternative access to my personal HP hardware installed
at NRC, HP-UX 11.11 and linux.  I'm also willing to test anything you come
up with.  There are a number of linux machines online at HP outside the
testdrive configuration that some open source developers have access to.
Access to these machines could be arranged.

Since gmp is now required to build GCC, it is important that the
parisc gmp port continue to work at a level sufficient to build GCC.
Thus, I and others in the parisc community would appreciate your
continued support.

This is a minor bug.  I was going to start looking into GCC PR 33584:

  GNU MP: Cannot reallocate memory (old_size=4 new_size=268435472)
  /xxx/gnu/gcc/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gfortran.dg/integer_exponentiation_4.f90:0:
  internal compiler error: Aborted

At the moment, it's not clear where the problem lies.  However, if it
is in GMP, it sounds like I shouldn't bother reporting it ;(
