Those last 2 lines are gnu make specific syntax. I note that your using gcc 
and not the HP compiler so you probably wont mind using gmake instead of the 
HPUX make which is based on sys V make. 

But on reflection,  I wonder why you need gmake at all. As far as I know make 
in HPUX 11 is the same as HPUX 10.20 (which I use). And it builds fine for me 
with gcc & HPUX make. In fact I cant find a section with the above macros  in 
either Makefile or Makefile.in for recent versions of libxml.  What libxml 
version are you trying to compile ?!
