  No.

  * Makefile.shlib changes are required to link libgcc.a 64-bit
    version correctly on HP-UX 11.23 (Itanium). Without specifying
    -mlp64 in LDFLAGS, you will get libgcc.a 32-bit version. Then
    linking libpq.so.3 with ld, you will see the following error:

        /usr/ccs/bin/ld +h libpq.so.3 -b +b /usr/local/pgsql/lib
        fe-auth.o ..(snip).. `gcc -print-libgcc-file-name` -o libpq.so.3

        ld: Mismatched Data ABI. Expected EF_IA_64_ABI64 but found None in file
        /usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/3.4.1/libgcc.a[__divdi3.oS]

    To link 64-bit object files with libgcc.a, libgcc.a must be
    64-bit.

    On the other hand, the changes to SHLIB_LINK is not required for
    PA-RISC HP-UX. Becase the gcc binaries are seperated for 32-bit
    and 64-bit uses respectively. According to the data model, ILP32
    or LP64, you will select the appropriate gcc binary. Then `$(CC)
    -print-libgcc-file-name` results to be the correct libgcc.a.

  * When you specify _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED in CFLAGS, X/Open
    Networking Interfaces doesn't work in LP64 data model without
    linking with libxnet. The third parameter type in sockets and IP
    resolution interfaces such as bind() and getpeername() is defined
    as socklen_t. socklen_t is typedefed as size_t, which is typedefed
    as unsigned long. In LP64 data model, size_t results to be
    64-bit. But inside the HP-UX X/Open Networking Interfaces
    implementation, the third parameter is expected as 32-bit
    length. To work around this problem in LP64 data model especially,
    the -lxnet addition to Makefile.hpux is required.

    Refer to man 7 xopen_networking.
