Dynamic loading support requires that executables be linked with -ldld. The alternative is to build the collector without defining DYNAMIC_LOADING in gcconfig.h and ensuring that all garbage collectable objects are accessible without considering statically allocated variables in dynamic libraries. The collector should compile with either plain cc or cc -Ae. CC -Aa fails to define _HPUX_SOURCE and thus will not configure the collector correctly. Incremental collection support was reccently added, and should now work. Thread support for HP/UX 11 Pthreads was also recently added. It is still flakey in this release. (It has only been tested on a uniprocessor. Even there some fraction of thread creation calls fail with a not-yet-understood error return from sem_wait.)
