Yes, you need at least boehm-gc, zlib, and libjava.
Ordinarily ports are turned off by default until someone makes them
work. In some cases this is easy, though HP-UX has a bad reputation
so you might find it difficult.

Probably a bug in gthr-posix.h of some kind. Maybe a missing #include.
Or maybe HP-UX doesn't have the necessary posix thread support, I
don't know.
Like Michael, I recommend starting with a more recent version of gcc.
The most difficult part of the port is likely to be the GC; most of
libjava is actually fairly easy to port to another unixy system.
