Binutils 2.11.90 should have support for 64-bit HP-UX in it.  Looking at
gcc gnat 5205 I think there is a mix up with 32 and 64 bits.  I am not
sure that the GCC being built is in fact 64 bits.

> host: hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00
> build: hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00
> target: hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00

These look like 32 bit names on a 64 bit capable machine, I think some
initial changes were made to make hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 a 64 bit target
but I think the code that finally got checked into the FSF tree requires
a target of hppa64-hp-hpux11.00 for a 64 bit compiler.  Likewise
-mpa-risc-2-0 is a 32 bit flag.

I use target/host/build settings of hppa64-hp-hpux11.00 when building a
64 bit GCC for HP-UX and a 64 bit GCC to do the build.  There is a 64
bit GCC available from www.hp.com if you want a prebuilt one to use in
the build; just enter gcc in the search box on www.hp.com to find it.
