Although the full-blown HP-UX C compiler has a built-in mini-assembler,
neither HP-UX's c89 nor the POSIX c89 have it.
Even if c89 had it, it probably wouldn't be very useful to you ... it
is a very *mini* assembler, supporting only a handful of instructions.
 
Options:
 
   1) Assemble on HP-UX, move the .O file to MPE.
 
   2) Investigate getting the assembler (ASSEMBLE.PUB.SYS)
      released on MPE ... it's only been running on MPE since the
      mid 80's, and is used for part of the operating system!
 
   3) <plug> the AVATAR Nugget has a small assembler built-in, which
      enables you to patch code symbolically, e.g.: mc foo, `LDI 7, 21`
