Just grab the latest cvs version of binutils.  GCC 3.2 will build
without problems with --enable-shared and I am using it as my current
hppa64 default.  Binutils can be built with either gcc or the HP
ansi compiler.  It will build with the bundled compiler but there
are some additional testsuite errors which suggest there is at least
one K&R bug somewhere.  As you know, libtool needs updating for
hppa64.  While I recommend using the GNU assembler and linker, the
linker is the weak link in the chain and it still needs quite a bit
more work.  For example, many of the objc tests fail when using a
shared libobjc.  Dwarf2 EH support also doesn't work yet.
