I can sort of almost tell you?  I don't know anything about HP/UX.  

gcc passes options that follow '-Wl' to the linker, but I suspect you're
not using the GNU linker because I don't recognize "-Wl,+h ... -Wl,+b" as
GNU linker options.  I would guess, though, that
"-Wl,/home/i3build/freetds/" is passing the unwanted path information to
the linker, which installs it in the ELF header (assuming HP/UX uses ELF
binaries).  

If you have GNU binutils installed and use ELF binaries, you can use
'readelf -d' to look at the rpath information.  I think this is what you
mean by "static path".  

HTH.
