Subject: On HPUX, -fPIC must be used for linking.  _ctypes now builds on HP-UX
X-Git-Tag: v2.6b1~304
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03b75ddf7c63bb7b7bc1b424661c94076b57be9e;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

On HPUX, -fPIC must be used for linking.  _ctypes now builds on HP-UX
IA64 and PA machines.

The ctypes unittests work fine on the IA64, but dump core in
test_qsort on the PA.
