We have seen that reported from installations where a gcc built for one
version of HPUX is being used on a different version (eg, gcc for 11.00
used on 11.11).  The problem is that gcc has its own copies of some
system header files, and these are wrong for the system it's being used
in.  Try "gcc -v" and note the version number embedded in the specs
path:

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20/2.95.3/specs
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

If it doesn't match your actual OS version, reinstalling gcc from source
would be a good plan.
