HP-UX 10.20 compile

[Mark_Andrews at iengines.com]

	We have had feedback that we need to use -fPIC instead of -fpic.
	Below may a symptom of that.  I don't have access to a HPUX 10.20 
	machine to check.

	From the gcc man page:
	Linker Options
		-llibrary -nostartfiles -nostdlib -static -shared
		-symbolic -Xlinker option -Wl,option -u symbol
