I used a few version of that compiler(currently HP-UX aCC A03.33 )
I have a little success to compile and run a few/part of libs.
(any,property,array ,unit_test, and pool) but with some minor changes to
them.
The latest version for  aCC contained some major bug with the auto_ptr when
using with the flag -AA
(there must be a new patch for it as HP wrote).
So I did not use the important -AA flag.
I fail to compile all boost so I copy only the small list with some common
and basic
 header that used by the list(e.g. type_trait).
I used my own makefile and lib structures and it might be difficultt for me
to update next version
 of boost for them.
