I have just been trying libtool 1.5 on this architecture using the native hp tools. I am using the HP ANSI C compiler and HP FORTRAN/9000.
When trying to build shared libraries, libtool checks that the PIC flag (+Z) actually works. The check with the C compiler fails. The comment in the configure script states that:
# The compiler can only warn and ignore the option if not recognized # So say no if there are warnings
Unfortunately, on this platform, there is also a warning message generated by cc saying:
(Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (conftest.o) was detected. The linked output may not run on a PA 1.x system.
which is completely unrelated to the +Z but causes libtool to report a failure anyway.
The fortran compiler does not appear to generate this warning but also reports that the PIC flag (+Z) does not work. The fortran compiler sends the following message to stderr when checking +Z
conftest.f: t:
and as the conftest.err file is not zero sized, libtool again reports a failure when all the compiler is doing is reporting compilation progress. The same 'feature' of the HP compiler causes libtool to also report that fort77 does not support -c -o file.o which it certainly does.
Everything works fine though if you switch to using gcc...
