ld/emulparams/hppalinux.sh was updated not too long ago to enable pie
 scripts, but hppa64linux.sh was skipped ... any reason to not do this ?

right, i wasnt expecting a pie script to suddenly make everything work, but i 
know of no disadvantages and it would make [future] development easier

Have you tested this on hpux?  Inspite of the script's name, its
main use is on hpux.  There's no 64-bit runtime yet and as far as
I know PIE isn't used for kernel builds..
