Okay, the problem is to do with the versions, you are trying to run HPUX 
10.20 binaries (with newer libraries) on an older HPUX 10.01 system.

That is why you are getting warnings about invalid versions and exec 
format errors..

I recommend that you find a decent HPUX 10.01 server (maybe an L class?) 
and set up a build server.  :Load on GCC/CC and appropriate libraries 
and compile NRPE for your version of HPUX..

God help you if your fastest box is a G or F class server.. my coldolences..

HPUX 10.01 is around 10 years old, and the G and F class servers aren't 
much newer..  While I respect the fact that you need to maintain them, 
the operating system is no longer maintained even by HP, and the rest of 
the world has moved on to HPUX 10.20 and 11.0.

There are newer versions of NRPE, version 2.0 and 2.2.. Try them

Cheers
