If you need threads on HP-UX 10, you may need to write your own thread
package first :-(

Provide more info: what compiler (bundled - nah, can't be, unbundled,
gcc?); what symbols are missing, etc.

In any case, the common understanding is that Python does not really
support threads on HP-UX, and probably never will unless some HP-UX
user who understands all the issues provides patches.
