The option "-Wl,-a,shared" instructs the linker to search only for 
shared libraries when linking, static libraries are completely ignored. 
The correct option would be "-Wl,-a,shared_archive". I think this is a 
bug in Qt's mkspecs. I just have forgotten to inform Trolltech about this.
 
In $QTDIR/mkspecs/hpux-acc/qmake.conf change the definition of 
QMAKE_FLAGS_SHLIB

from

QMAKE_FLAGS_SHLIB = -b -Wl,-a,shared

to

QMAKE_FLAGS_SHLIB = -b -Wl,-a,shared_archive

You don't need to rebuild Qt, it affects only shared libs/modules (like 
qt.sl) that are linked with static libraries.

Phil, maybe you should also modify specs/hpux-acc in sip.
