Actually we didn't even had to go to the trouble of cross compiling, since the compatibility between 10.20 and 11.00 is not as bad as you suggested: we installed a GNAT/GCC 2.8.1 binary built on 10.20, which worked as is under HP UX 11.00. Yes, the C compiler under HP UX 11.00 was shaky, but was actually good enough to bootstrap GCC itself with no trouble, so we had no more trouble to switch GNAT from HP-UX 10.20 to 11.00 than we had to switch from Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 8 (which also didn't require anything special).
