Get a compiler update from HP, or try reducing the optimization level,
or try gcc. The last few cc releases seem to have been a bit buggy :-(

FWIW, here are my notes from the last time I built Postgres on HP's
testdrive systems, which was about six months ago:

On 11.11:
gcc/main ok
gcc/contrib ok
cc/main ok (with +O2 even)
cc/contrib ok
/usr/local/pa64/bin:
gcc64/main Assert in guc.c fails, else ok
gcc64/contrib ok
cc CFLAGS=+DD64 /main ok
cc CFLAGS=+DD64 /contrib ok

On 11.23 (IA64):
gcc not available?
cc/main ok as long as don't use +O with unpatched compiler
cc/contrib ok
cc CFLAGS=+DD64 /main ok
cc +DD64 /contrib ok

Unfortunately I didn't make a note of exactly which compiler versions
were installed on these machines at the time.
