We have several libraries which have been in use for several years and
are designed to be Inlib'ed rather than being stored in every binary
file. Having moved to SR10.1 on our DN4000's we discovered that
producing an inlib-able library using either "bind" or "ld" does not
work as the library contains "absolute code". 

Has anybody out there managed to produce libraries of routines which
can be inlib'ed on SR10. Both we and the HP Response Center (ref
E1487117) in the UK have been trying to find a way. We have tried both
SR10.1 and SR10.2 machines using both "bind" and "ld" with suitable
incantations which either worked on previous versions (e.g. SR9.7) or
are attempts to understand the manual pages.

Below is a tiny C program which we have used to demonstrate the
problem. Any help will be gratefully recieved.
