I have committed the patch below to improve ld argument detection. If
you apply it syslog-ng should compile fine, however it might link to -ll
and -lwrap dynamically. To improve the situation I'd need some
information on HP's linker as I currently have no access to a HP-UX
machine.

Can you send me an "ld -V" output and point me a direction where I can
find a manpage for HP's ld ?
