did you check the archives at http://hpux.cae.wisc.edu or
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu ? A lot of the packages found
there come pre-compiled both statically and dynamically
and are packaged in update format. BTW, tar can
read update format but it does not do the magic
of installing in /system, /opt etc, which in itself
is useful if you don't have privileges or just want
to check something out. (it installs in ./system,
/opt etc).
