Building pgeasy on HP-UX

I think you have to use the flags used to compile an ordinary library,
or use the flags used to build libpq. My guess is that cc doesn't
understand -fpic in this situation.

When pgeasy was part of the main distribution, you had configure finding
the proper flags, but now, each interface is on its own.

HP's cc does not use the same argument switches as gcc. -fpic and
-shared are definitely gcc-isms, and I think the -Wl stuff may be too.
Furthermore ".so" is not the way it's spelled in HPUX.

In short, you've got a gcc-only makefile there. If you have gcc
installed, the path of least resistance would be to use it not cc.
Otherwise you need to re-educate the makefile.
