Well, I couldn’t get gnu ld; binutils-2.9.1 package (from HP’s site) had “ld” missing. I fetched the source of binutils-2.9.1 and tried to build it myself with no luck. The configure script complained that “this configuration …. had problem building ld”. So, I’m still stuck with getting gnu ld before I can build gpc :-(

But do you have GNU as? That's what your message complained about. If you configure with `--with-gnu-as' but without `--with-gnu-ld', it might work with GNU as and HP's ld.
