Documentation for the old C++ compiler on HP (aCC):
  http://docs.hp.com/en/1314/options.htm

It documents use of '-b' to create a shared library:
  http://docs.hp.com/en/1314/options.htm#option-b

  CAUTION: You must use the aCC command to link your HP aC++ programs

  by the linker are available.

This URL also documents using aCC to create shared libraries:
  http://docs.hp.com/en/1314/libs.htm#shlib

Looks like this is not needed.

Actually, looking at my patch, it only changes it for hppa*64, ia64*.
aCC, on these platforms, is always the correct method to link shared
libraries.
