This response is slightly off topic, but is something to watch
out for: the Oracle static libraries are built using PIC code;
if you have a large application and build it with PIC code too,
you will exceed the size of HP's relocation tables.

We've gotten around the problem by building all of our app with
non-PIC code, except some client libraries that don't have to
live with Oracle.
