Building shared library with g77 on HP-UX

[Albert Chin]

I'm trying to build the SciPy module for Python 2.3.2 using GCC 3.3 on
HP-UX 11i. GCC was built with --enable-shared so I do have a
libg2c.sl.

  g77 -shared
  build/temp.hp-ux-B.11.11-9000/785-2.3/opt/TWWfsw/python232p/lib/python2.3/site-packages/f2py2e/src/fortranobject.o
  build/temp.hp-ux-B.11.11-9000/785-2.3/build/temp.hp-ux-B.11.11-9000/785-2.3/fblasmodule.o
  -Lbuild/temp.hp-ux-B.11.11-9000/785-2.3
  -Lbuild/temp.hp-ux-B.11.11-9000/785-2.3 -lfblas_f2py -llapack_src
  -lblas_src -lg2c -o
  build/lib.hp-ux-B.11.11-9000/785-2.3/scipy/linalg/fblas.sl
  /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Invalid loader fixup in text space needed in output
  file for symbol "f_exit" in input file
  "/opt/TWWfsw/gcc33/lib/libfrtbegin.a(frtbegin.o)"
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  error: command 'g77' failed with exit status 1
        error: error executing script

Should libfrtbegin.a be built with -fpic?
