Alan & Jeff,
The good news is HP has recognised is as a defect and hopefully I will get
a
new version of ld. However, all the current HP supplied libraries are
broken.
I don't mind producing a patch to create a workaround (it is very straight
forward,
for a change) or we could produce a program which 'corrects' the defective
libraries. However, because these are system libraries, a lot of people
may
be unwilling to go near then.
Cheers,
Ross

Alan,
I will produce a patch within the next couple of days. I'm currently
waiting
on a call with HP to check if it is a bug or a feature. If I don't hear
back
from them in a couple of days then I'll submit that patch anyway.
I'm currently giving ld a good run compiling gtk+-2.0. Afterward I'll test
perl5.8.
Cheers,
Ross

I think this is reasonable, given that conforming objects will have a
non-zero sh_link. Care to submit a patch and ChangeLog entry?
