Possibly, I was reading too much into what is stated in the pa64 runtime
supplement.  However, the default behavior of the HP 64-bit linker is to
link dynamically, even if no DLLs are found at link time.  It doesn't
really matter from a maintenance standpoint if a binary is dynamic or
static if it is solely linked with archive libraries.  I suspect that
one reason for this default is that internationalization support requires
linking with libdld.sl and using the dynamic loader.
