[R] Compiling R on HP-UX: "DP relative code"

[Thomas Hoffmann]

I tried to build R-1.1.1 on my HP-UX 10.20 box. For this I installed
gcc 2.95.2 and built g77 (version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)).

Making R runs to the point, where shared libs are linked. There it reports:

make[4]: Entering directory `/disk4/hoffmann/Work/rwork/src/library/ctest/src'

    independent.  Use +z or +Z to recompile.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [ctest.sl] Error 1

The question seems to be: How can I build a position independent libg2c.a under HPUX?
