It does not work. See FAQ_HPUX.

I think it depends more on what software you use. The existing HPUX
resultmap (geometry-positive-zeros) works on my usual platform (C180,
PA8000 chip I think) when using gcc. Compile with cc and you get one
different lowest-order digit in two lines, IIRC. I have not tried it
lately on a 1.1 chip.

Hmm, so does it match any of the existing geometry files? That would
suggest that HPUX 11 has started adhering more closely to the IEEE rules
about negative zeroes ...
