The HP Test Drive cluster doesn't have any hpux 10.20 systems.
They have an hpux 11.11 system, and I have access to an hpux 11.00
system somewhere else, but no 10.20.

Here is the deal with hpux 10.20.  I tried to remove it from gdb
last year, but John David Anglin, the hpux gcc maintainer, still
has one hpux 10.20 system in production.  So we still have support
for hpux 10.20 in gdb source.

Mark, perhaps you and Dave could work together to get the ptrace
patch tested on an hpux 10.20 system?

The big difference with hpux 10.20 is that it has an optional threads
library (not pthreads compatible) which hpux 11.00 and hpux 11.11 don't
have.

Also, for background info, here is a table of hpux dates:
