libgcc.a on HPUX

[Kees.Vonk@uktransco.com]

I am currently trying to install a perl module (Crypt::SSLeay), which 
gets compiled with gcc because perl is compiled with gcc. This gives 
me the following problem, which, I have been told, are caused because 
libgcc.a is a static library and the make command tries to build a 
shared library (if you couldn't already tell, I am not an experienced 
C programmer). Is there a way of building a shared libgcc ?

All this is on a HP-UX 10.20 platform.
