Thanks for your suggestions but unfortunately I cannot upgrade to 11.X,
because it's too old (735/125) and I was not able to get media for the
very first 11.0 release which was compatible with my machine. HP sent
me some update CDs, but they were too new.

Changing the code or implementing my own dlopen is far beyond my
programming knowledge, I just wanted to have all tools handy to compile
apps for myself, because HP-UX porting center doesn't offer 10.20
depots for most applications anymore.

I tried parisc-linux on my box, but it was creeping slow with it, the
internal FW-SCSI contoller is not supported and I have software which
relies on HP-UX.

Anyway, I'll have to live witout gawk and use hp's awk.
