Weird. I've been building Emacs/XEmacs for years and years under
HP-UX (and I'm still on 10.20), and I can't remember a time when I had
any problem remotely similar to yours. I'm pretty sure that -g has
always worked for me. Any problems I've had have always been with some
kind of optimization, or with non-compiler-related issues (like audio
libraries, X11, or undump).
Oh, wait -- you're using "-O -g". Stop doing that. Use either
"-g" or "-O", but not both.

Yah. I understand.

If your site is patch-phobic, then the problem may be that you're
using buggy X11 libraries. HP has a seeming boatload of patches for
X11, and you really should (but probably don't) have somewhat recent
patches.
[ As a side note, I've got something like 120+ patches installed on my
old HP-UX 10.20 workstation, although I don't strictly need all of
them. ]
I'm not seeing any clipboard hangs, although I am using 21.4.5, and
not 21.4.6.
