While I do not disagree either from a pragmatic (ability to test) and a 
philosophical point of view, if somebody who cares speaks up with the 
required info I think we should try to continue to support the HP 
compilers. Of course if we cannot get to the required information we 
shouldn't hold up progress in supporting gcc.
