Oops. My fault. It isn't. I was looking at our patched version.

I can vouch for it on hpux11*, hppa*64*, and ia64*, for aCC and g++.
We don't have hpux10* to test it on.

The recommended way to create shared libraries on HP-UX 11.x with aCC
is 'CC -b'. This is a similar change to using 'cc -b' to create shared
libraries on HP-UX 11.x rather than ld.

Want me to factor out hpux10 like we did for the cc case?
