When the HP-UX linker is building an a.out, it converts any r19-relative 
references into dp-relative references by rewriting the instructions. It 
still creates a linkage table entry if necessary (i.e., it doesn't 
rewrite a DLT-indirect reference as a direct dp-relative reference), but 
the linkage table entries are accessed via the dp register instead of r19.
