I suppose I should mention that the only reason I chose to compile gcc
2.8.1 and binutils 2.9.1 was that I was almost positive that gcc 2.8.1
would build with the bundled K&R compiler.  (I couldn't find a copy of
the ANSI C compiler for 11 over the weekend.)  I figured that the
vanilla gcc and binutils would give me enough of a development
environment that I could build anything else.

I have binaries of egcs 1.1.2 built, but I'm going to try to run the
test suite before I put them out on puffin.external.hp.com.  After
that, I'll go for the CVS versions.  When it looks like everything is
built for 11, I'll probably go back and build 10.20 binaries of
anything you can't already find on hpux.cs.utah.edu or
hpux.cae.wisc.edu.

BTW, I've tested the bash binary...  It seems to work fine.
