This also may be possible.  The first step would be to copy the hpux headers
to a i686-linux system and see if you can build the HP linker.  The next
step would be to try to build the cross binutils tools.  I know this
requires the hpux headers and likely some hacking would be required to
get it to build.

The linker is probably the hard part.  There may be byte ordering issues
and bugs in what HP contributed.
