ANSI C/C++ compiler is not necessary. Your system uses GCC when you set PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin regardless if ANSI C/C++ is installed or not.

There is no requirement for ANSI C to build CUPS on HP-UX.

You can avoid to copy the libraries if you modify my first patch:
Replace /usr/local/lib/hpux32 with /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/hpux32/gss with /usr/local/lib/gss should solve this issue.

There is no problem at runtime.
