g++ refuses linking on HPUX with HP ld (32bit)

Suggest that you apply the latest HP linker patch.  +init is definitely
a supported linker option under HP-UX 11.  As well as +init/+fini,
there are other reasons to update your linker.  This is documented
in the installation notes for HP-UX 11.

You can't turn off +init/+fini except by hacking the pa backend.
If you do, constructors/destructors won't work.  If you go back
to the old technique used with HP-UX 10, you will find that constructors
and destructors for dynamically loaded libraries don't run.
