Yep, already discovered that.  Fortunately it was pretty obvious, since I 
was building with a different target name than my old tools (ppc-eabi vs 
ppc-elf), otherwise I may not have seen it.  I don't remember seeing this 
anywhere in the FAQs, but it should be there.

FWIW, I think I finally got it all installed, but I ran into a really 
strange problem in the final full build of gcc: in 'configure', the line:
 cat > conftest.$ac_test <<EOF
suddenly stopped working.  It would create a zero-length file and just sit 
there and spin.  I got around it by hacking 'configure' to cat to a 
different filename, and move it to conftest.$ac_test afterwards.  Not sure 
what caused it, but I suspect that an NFS problem during one of the builds 
hosed up something in HPUX.

Thanks to everyone for your help.
