I'd also recommend making sure you are fairly up-to-date on HP
patches. At a minimum, if you are building 64 bit binaries on on HPUX
11.11 you may need PHSS_26263 (11.11) or a successor patch otherwise
11.11 you may need PHSS_30966 (11.11) or a successor patch otherwise

PHSS_26263 s700_800 11.11 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch
PHSS_30966 s700_800 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch
On general principles you should be current on libc and ld/dld
patches, as well as compiler patches if you are using HP's C compiler.
See HP's support sites such as http://itrc.hp.com and
ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com/ for free copies of their latest patches.
If you are building on a PA-RISC 2.0 machine and want to have 64-bit
binaries using GCC, you must use GCC 64-bit version. GCC binaries for
HP-UX PA-RISC and Itanium are available from http://www.hp.com/go/gcc.
Don't forget to get and install binutils at the same time.
If you are building on a HP-UX Itanium machine, you will need the
latest HP ANSI C compiler with its dependent patch or successor
patches:
PHSS_30848 s700_800 HP C Compiler (A.05.57)

Any other error is cause for suspicion.
The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and /sbin/sh. This is a
known defect JAGad84609, the fix for which is not yet in any released
HP-UX version or shell patches. To work around it, use ksh to run the
regression script:
on PA-RISC when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and
/sbin/sh. To fix this problem, you will need PHCO_30269 with its
dependent patch or successor patches:
PHCO_30269 s700_800 cumulative sh-posix(1) patch
PHCO_29816 s700_800 rc(1M) scripts cumulative patch
