Hi Alistair, given the complexity around hacking openmpi to accommodate placing the mod files under /usr/include, I'm starting to wonder whether it's the best way of resolving Bug#1058526 in the first place.

I did it bit of background reading on the fortran mod files. There's a fair bit of dissent about them, and no consensus on a proper location. e.g. https://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Library+distribution The files are binary dependent (and compiler version dependent), and not clear that /usr/include is the best place for them anyway.

mpich seems to be fine placing them in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fortran/gfortran-mod-15/mpich, and openmpi seemed to be happy enough doing the same up until Bug#1058526.

Is there a different way of resolving Bug#1058526 without moving the mod files to /usr/include?
