I know this errors. I tried to X-build hp700 on an Alpha too.
Unfortunately there is only one thing that you can do: Blame the GCC
people. GCC has problems (to be polite) when X-compiling (on a non-i386
host), especially if the compile host is 64 bit and the target is 32
bit. I had similar problems when X-building e.g. sparc on a sparc64
machine. 

So all I can recommend is: get a 32 bit machine for X compiling hp700. I
do all my hp700 developement on a PowerPC machine. I tried it on SPARC
too and it worked there also.
