Configure GCC with the GNU assembler and the HP linker. This provides the best support for C++. Weak support is not available when using the HP assembler. Without weak support, there are significant problems with vtable support and template instantiation. 3.3 is worse than 3.[0-2] in this respect. There is weak support under HP-UX 11 using the GNU assembler. In my opinion, the ia64 ABI adopted for C++ only works when a target has one-only support. There is some possibility that we might be able to provide one-only support using the GNU assembler under HP-UX 10.20. This would use the linkers support for common symbols. Again however, this won't work with the HP assembler (HP Fortran doesn't use the HP assembler). The GNU linker has a number of problems (e.g., -static doesn't work). Thus, it's better to use HP ld at this time. Dave -- J. David Anglin dave.anglin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx National Research Council of Canada (613) 990-0752 (FAX: 952-6602)
