Is there some known incompatibility of the latest stable versions with
the PathScale 3.0 compilers ?

<long version>
I have a very puzzling problem with the following combination:
- PathScale 3.0 suite
- Open MPI 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 (both behave the same)
- Debian etch, kernel 2.6.22.9/x86_64 running on AMD Opteron
Upon invoking any installed binary (opmi_info, mpif90 --showinfo), I
get a segmentation fault. The trace looks strange (to me, at least ;-)):
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

This happens only with the PathScale 3.0 compilers; I have no problems
when using the default gcc and friends version 4.1.2 compilers; I also
have no problems in using the PathScale 3.0 compilers either alone or
with Myricom's MPICH/MX.
The problem build was obtained after:
./configure --prefix=/home/thor1/costescu/openmpi-1.2.4-ps30 --enable-static
--disable-shared --with-mx=/opt_local/mx --disable-io-romio --enable-debug
--enable-pretty-print-stacktrace
(configure and make logs available on request)
I thought about asking here first to avoid any 'this is known' or
embarassing errors that I might have made, before filling a bug
report. The existing bugs related to PathScale compilers don't seem
to describe the symptoms that I'm seeing, unless it's some kind of
threading issue which seems to have no resolution yet...
Thanks in advance !
