hpux linking shared library with static library

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Hello,

When I try to link shared library with static library on hpux I get
the following message:
"""
*** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive libcore.la.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.
*** But as you try to build a module library, libtool will still create
*** a static module, that should work as long as the dlopening application
*** is linked with the -dlopen flag to resolve symbols at runtime.
"""

However if I change libtool:
-deplibs_check_method="file_magic
(s[0-9][0-9][0-9]|PA-RISC[0-9].[0-9]) shared library"
+deplibs_check_method="pass_all"

It succeed in linking.

Any reason why this is forbidden in hpux?
