Re: gcc-3.1 build successful in hppa64-hp-hpux11.00

Correct. The problem with this is ld not writing the magic properly. I checked it
linking against a shared library and deleting the shared library and running the
program, it complained about the missing library. Also chatr reveals the info
correctly. The problem with the ld even exist in the latest binutils snapshot.
