HP-UX 10.20 compile

[dharris at kcp.com]

Thanks to all who replied, even those who were underwhelmed by the
question.  Changing -fpic to -fPIC appears to have done the job.  I have
many newly-built files and 'make install' seems to have worked.  'named' is
running and appears to serve clients.

In the spirit of helping the community I present the results of my BIND
8.2.2-P5 build for HP-UX 10.20

Had to change src/port/hpux10/Makefile.get.gcc to remove the "-ansi -fpic"
flags and replace them with "-fPIC".
The "-ansi" had to go because otherwise the make bled all kinds of syntax
errors like "no ; at end of struct".
The "-fpic" replacement removed the ld errors reported in the origination
of this thread.

Changed (maybe didn't have to) the "-d" flag on bison to "--yacc
--defines".
This was suggested by an item posted last month.

Questions filed into the "nice to know but don't need the answers to
proceed" are:
Is there a cleaner way to use the Makefile.set.gcc other than renaming it
to Makefile.set?
Why did the "-ansi" flag have to go - is this an HPUX artifact?
Why doesn't the crew at hpux.cs.utah.edu have a pre-built BIND, just like
the pre-built yacc, gcc, flex, and binutils?

Thanks again.

     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
