Re: specifying libraries on the link line, was "incorrect library names embedded on hp-ux ia64"

Yes, I did run across that. On hp-ux it is +h<internal name>. However,
it doesn't seem to work when multiple libs are involved. For example,
if I have three libs, foo, bar and baz, bar depends on foo and baz depends
on bar, and I add appropriate build requirements using +h:
   <toolset>acc:<linkflags>-Wl,+h,libfoo.so

Libbar links fine, but libbaz does not:

Yet, both libfoo.so and libbar.so appear to have the correct
dependencies and embedded names:
$ elfdump -L foo/bin/acc/debug/libfoo.so

I think it should work, but it doesn't.
