Hm... Never mind I read the wrong docs in GCC :-( If I'm reading the gcc 
docs correctly now, instruction-set would need: 700, 7100, 7100lc, 7200, 
7300, and 8000. Which matches the -mschedule option possible values.

Sure. But why check "__hpux"? Would it not be possible to run a 
different OS on a parisc?
