John et al,

Many thanks for the fixing the .opd stuff.  I've encountered a new problem.

gcc is 3.1 and binutils is 020617.

gcc -c -g -I/opt/X11R6/include ximage.c -o ximage.o
gcc -c -fpic -g -I/opt/X11R6/include mandelgen.c -o mandelgen.o
/opt/dev64/bin/ld -shared -o generate.sl mandelgen.o -R/opt/X11R6/lib -L/opt/X11R6/lib -lX11
gcc ximage.o generate.sl -L/opt/X11R6/lib -Wl,-R -Wl,. -lX11 -o ximage
/opt/dev64/lib/gcc-lib/hppa64-hp-hpux11.00/3.1/../../../../hppa64-hp-hpux11.00/bin/ld: generate.sl: invalid string offset 6180 >= 129 for section
`.dynstr'

I'm having a different problem trying to compile gtk+-2.0.5.  However it is extremely complex so I have trying to create a simpler example.
libX11 was linked using the HP linker.

Here is the readelf dump of generate.sl.
