 this code:

 Just for the record: on HP-UX/PA-RISC, -fPIC on the compile command is not
 sufficient. On this platform, when building shared library, -fPIC should
 also be explicitly specified on the link command. This is handled by:

             flags $(toolset).link OPTIONS $(condition)/<link>shared :
 -fPIC
               : unchecked ;

 inside 'case hpux :'.

 On HP-UX/ia64, -fPIC is not necessary, but specifying it does not do any
 harm.

 Thanks,
   Boris
