Not a problem. I'm attaching a patch which I believe fixes all the build
issues on HP-UX, and shouldn't cause any breakage with any other platforms.

I've retested on Linux and cygwin (although cygwin has problems with
dynclasses), and all's well.

A summary of the changes:

* Two extra flags are made available (cc_shared, which was already extracted
from Perl but not used, and ccdlflags, which probably needs a better name!),
and added to the makefile etc.

Agreed -- ccdlflags indeed does need a better name. I'd suggest link_dynamic, since it's really the flags to be supplied to the linker that allow it to be used with shared and dynamically loaded libraries. (Perl5's Configure confuses things by usually using $cc for linking as well.)
Yea, this variable is clearly a C compiler-used-as-a-linker flag. How about cc_link_dynamic?
