Actually I'm testing with two HP-UX machine here.
[1] uname': HP-UX B.11.23 U model': 9000/800/rp3440
CPU: PA-RISC
aCC --version': HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.80 [2] uname': HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
model': ia64 hp server rx5670 CPU: Itanium aCC --version': HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]
With [1], the MODULE_SUFFIX is ".sl", and plugins are created with .sl suffix when I compile dovecot-1.0.13. But, With [2], the MODULE_SUFFIX is ".so", and plugins are created with .so suffix when I compile dovecot-1.0.13.
I have no idea why there's a difference between the two. I googled a page (http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.libtool.general/2003-10/msg00019.html) which seems saying 11.x can make .so suffixed ELF shared library.
I don't know. Is it from the difference between PA-RISC and Itanium or from the difference of the compiler versions?

It is like the following in the generated Makefile:
MODULE_SUFFIX = .so
Are the plugins created using .so or .sl suffix?
