suggests it may be your use of GCC triggering this - and it grabbing its own 
types.h rather than the HP-UX types.h.

Perhaps that is addressed via a newer gcc.

It has been a while since I checked, but my recollection was that netperf could 
be built with the bundled compiler under HP-UX.  By and large there isn't much 
time spent in "netperf" or "netserver" themselves, so the breadth of 
optimization by the compiler when compiling netperf is generally not an issue. 
If either of those two paths do not work-out, I would suggest using the 
unbundled HP compiler rather than gcc.

happy benchmarking,
