Summary: HP-UX: ld -Wl,+b...

Initial Comment:
On HP-UX 11.* (here: 11.23), configure chooses "ld -b" for extension modules 
like unicodedata.so.

My $LDFLAGS contains instructions like "-Wl,+b<path>"
(run-time search path for shared libs). This is correct, because LDFLAGS should 
be passed to the compiler.

distutils compiles the extension modules with "cc" (I need to use the native 
compiler), then it links with

ld -b $(LDFLAGS) -I.... ...

These means that options like -Wl, and -I<include-path> are passed to the 
linker!

To solve this problem quickly, I propose to modify configure. If LDSHARED="cc 
-b", Python 2.5 compiles.

Though this works very godd with with current HP-UX compilers, it does not work 
with ancient HP-UX compiler suites. Maybe there should be a test in configure 
in order to see if LDSHARED works.

If you really want to support old HP-UX compilers,
distutils should not 
- pass $LDFLAGS containing "-Wl," to "ld" nor 
- call the linker with -I<includepath>.



This is the current state of the linker call:
