I'm pretty sure none of the folks on python-dev have access to a HP/UX 10
system. So there's three possibilities for getting this fixed:

. Since you have access to such a system, figure out what needs to be changed
  and supply a patch to the SF tracker
. Make a HP/UX 10 system available to someone who can fix the problem
. Convince HP to add a HP/UX 10 system to the test drive farm.

It's virtually impossible for someone to fix this who doesn't have access
to a system to work on the problem. I have access to only HP/UX 11 systems,
so I can only make sure python builds out of the box on those systems. (For
instance, I'm following up with HP on a couple of issues on the HP/UX on
Itanium platform to get bugs on the platform fixed.)
