You mean dynamically loaded C++ extensions, or the kind that are
linked into the Python executable?

I'm willing to believe almost anything about HP-UX.  Until recently,
aCC was so broken as a C++ compiler that there was little point in
trying to get Boost.Python to work on it, and I don't have much data
for that system.

Even if you take out the use of C++ constructs in ccpython.cc?  I just
need to check all the obvious angles.

Okay, but -- at the very least -- we don't need this behavior on
ELF/Linux.
