In which package's Makefile did you change this parameter?  Was it in
Net:SSLeay or was it in the library (that Net:SSLeay needs to link
against) that you were fighting with the other day?

The question I asked above is important because Perl needs to be
able to dynamically load (via dlopen() or the like) the extension
modules.

In my opinion, you should probably have left the LINKTYPE as dynamic.
The library that you mentioned the other day needs to be a shared
object compiled to be PIC to work.

(Of course, I could be entirely wrong.  It's been a while since I've
done any substantial amount of work on an HP system.)
