Thanks for your report.

I agree that the statement doesn't cover all the possible problems that
might be encountered in not having a recent linker patch installed under
HP-UX 11.X. You must have a recent linker patch installed to obtain
working weak symbol support. You also need a recent patch to correct
problems in running initializers and finalizers. Both of these features
are essential when using C++, but they could be needed when using C as
well.

PHSS_26560 wasn't out when I did my original testing but it's the HP-UX
11.11 companion to PHSS_26559. I think I'll leave it to HP to recommend
which linker patch to use.

When problems like this occur, its best to provide a GCC bug report so
that a more precise cause can be determined.
