Hi!


HP-UX 9.03, GNU binutils, GCC 2.8.1
After building and installing tiff-v3.4beta037 I encountered the
following problems:

Both Gimp / ImageMagick have problems building the TIFF support; both
show
the same errors during configure or compilation:

make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/disk3/gnu/gimp-0.99.26/plug-ins/tiff'
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link gcc -O -I/users2/local/include

libtool: link: warning: using a buggy system linker

iff -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/bin/ld: /users2/local/lib/libtiff.sl: Not a valid object file (invalid
version id)

libtiff.sl is not being generated correctly. If this is due to the
abnormal linker HP 
provides or due to some deficiencies in the build process of
tiff-v3.4beta037 I don't know.
