There's been very few hppa changes to binutils in the past several
months.  I can't duplicate the problem, so maybe there's something
wrong with your libc setup.

You might try adding "-Wl,-v -Wl,--trace -Wl,--trace-symbol=fopen" to the
above gcc command and see what it shows.  This should show the command
used to link test and details of the lookup for the the symbol fopen.
