This is a limitation of the 64-bit linker.  Binaries still need an
interpreter for startup even when linked with -static.  This probably
could be fixed but the use of static binaries under 64-bit hpux is
discouraged.  Under hpux,

Look at the -Q, -ftime-report and -fmem-report options.

Thanks for all explanation.

For the last point I edit Makefile and in CFLAGS I added the tree mentionned
options. I just start to recompile a kernel 2.4.20 and log everything but
I think that it will increase dramaticaly the overall volume: is that all
will really help you or better some typical comparison?
