[gnu.utils.bug] Req help bldg GNU gas 1.34 on hpux

(Building on HP 9000/300)

I'm having problems building write.c from the gas-1.34 distribution on
prep.ai.mit.edu.  The offending section is

   md_number_to_chars((char *)&the_exec.a_machtype, EXEC_MACHINE_TYPE, sizeof(the_exec.a_machtype));

What I've fixed so far is the original definition

#define EXEC_MACHINE_TYPE HP9000S200_ID

which only makes sense when you rewrite as

#ifdef hpux
#include <magic.h>
#define EXEC_MACHINE_TYPE HP9000S200_ID
#endif

(HP9000S200_ID is defined in HP's include only).  Also, there is
neither a a_machtype member in GNU a.out.h definition of the exec
structure, nor in the a_out.h on the HP.  The .o' that result from
this do not pass either GNU nm or HP-UX nm.  Can anyone offer to post
their working write.c etc for HP-UX?

I wrote the conditional in write.c as:

#ifdef hpux
#define EXEC_MACHINE_TYPE HP9000S200_ID
#endif

and used the following a.out.h

Thanks for your a.out.h file.  Now I find that GNU ld.c is not
parameterized for different OS and can't read HP a.out.h format.  Does
anyone have an ld.c for HP-UX, or appropriate diffs?
