What kind of problems did you get compiling it? Errors or just
the warnings you report below?

getpwuid_r is not used in Gtk/Perl, so it must be somewhere else.

It looks like HP-UX doesn't support RTLD_GLOBAL.
You can get rid of the warning deleting the 

sub dl_load_flags {0x01}

line in Gtk.pm.
Could you provide me the output of:

perl -e 'print $^O, "\n"'

so I will take care of disabling it automatically for the next release.
