You should be able to build cross compilation tools under hpux for hppa-linux.
First you should install native versions of binutils and gcc under hpux (this
assumes that you have the hpux C compiler and linker).  The release version of
gcc (2.95.2) would be a good choice.  The standard hpux linker works fine with
gcc/gas for C compilations.  Then follow the directions at www.parisc-linux.org
for building the cross compilation tools and linux.
