That's what I'm using internally while I fart around with other stuff that
I'm going to need to perform dynamic linking.

It turns out that you can't do a pure static link on hpux11 -- too many things
missing from hp's libraries.  So we've got to make dynamic linking work from
day 1.  Ugh so much for building some quick code I can use to test basic
relocations. :(
