Dynamic loading support requires that executables be linked with -ldld.
The alternative is to build the collector without defining DYNAMIC_LOADING
-in config.h and ensuring that all garbage collectable objects are
+in gcconfig.h and ensuring that all garbage collectable objects are
accessible without considering statically allocated variables in dynamic
libraries.
The collector should compile with either plain cc or cc -Ae. CC -Aa
fails to define _HPUX_SOURCE and thus will not configure the collector
correctly.

+Incremental collection support was reccently added, and should now work.
+
+Thread support for HP/UX 11 Pthreads was also recently added. It is still
+flakey in this release. (It has only been tested on a uniprocessor. Even
+there some fraction of thread creation calls fail with a not-yet-understood
+error return from sem_wait.)
