Hi again,

Just wanted to let you know I found a workaround for this particular 
issue.  We are able to build GMP on HP-UX with more than 2 threads using 
the HP-UX C++ compiler, when invoked as an ANSI C compiler, for example 
with CC="/opt/aCC/bin/aCC -Ae".  Maybe worth documenting on your side?

The commit in our public repo: 
https://github.com/chevah/python-package/pull/105/commits/4d12876e966e5a331a069bea0adcd016965a40e2

Thank you again for GMP!
