This also appears to be an issue with versions of MSVC before 1300. The attached patch file corrects the issue by enabling the same fix for MSVC <1300 when compiled on HPPA systems. Note that this issue does not appear on HPUX 11.23 Itanium (ia64), which has a different native linker implementation."
