Bad news for me. No (portable) binary available.
And that version have also the same compilation results.
(inclusive the linking problem for noexec.)

(http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/wwwtar?/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.7.1/sudo-1.7.1-src-11.11.tar.gz+sudo-1.7.1/HPUX.Install+text)

Maybe something has changed between 1.6.7p5 and 1.7.1 with make it 
incompatible with the old version of hp-ux (11.0).
Maybe something is wrong on my system with does only affect sudo.
