You may want to point them to:

But won't the problem persist on HP-UX versions prior to 11.11?

A possible workaround could be to do something like this (caveat: I
have not tested it; in fact, I have not looked at the code in question,
only the above snippet)

  shl_t pointer;
  rc = shl_findsym(&pointer, name, TYPE_UNDEFINED, symbol);
  handle = pointer;
