$(srcdir)/pdfetexdir/pdfetex.h: $(srcdir)/pdftexdir/pdftex.h
cp -f $< $@
I thought that many non-gnu makes do not expand $< and $@ except in
implicit or pattern rules. In this particular case, it's just an
abbreviation, so this could be changed:
$(srcdir)/pdfetexdir/pdfetex.h: $(srcdir)/pdftexdir/pdftex.h
cp -f $(srcdir)/pdftexdir/pdftex.h $(srcdir)/pdfetexdir/pdfetex.h
And it might work. It would do no harm, anyway. However, probably the
whole thing is hopeless without gnu make because I doubt this is the
only place there is such a dependency.

If gcc is being used, it's better to use -static than -Bstatic, because
gcc can then change the -static to whatever options are needed on the
current system.
As for the HP-UX 10 vs 11 thing, at one point I was compiling ok with a
setup like this (hpux 8 vs 9, I think). Problems would manifest as
failed compiles because of include file mismatches, as Thomas said.
Good luck.
