(failing that) that they were at least built as position-independent
code. Otherwise the HP-UX dynamic linker will choke at runtime because
it can't relocate the static objects HP's linker blindly imports into
shared libraries.
See my old post that I linked to for more details and other tweaks that
need to be made to specific libraries for HP-UX.
