I have built both 1.4.3rc1 and 1.5rc5 using the 3.2 PathScale compilers.

I did not encounter the problem Larry reported, but there are (at least) 2 differences between my build and Larry's
1) I didn't pass and explicit {C,CXX,F,FC}FLAGS
2) My pathcc install is using the gcc4 toolchain, not gcc3.
I plan a few more builds to narrow down the differences.

Some notes:

To build 1.5rc5 with this compiler I needed a 1-line change (http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/08/8413.php)

My configure args for both 1.4.3rc1 and 1.5rc5:

$ [path_to]/configure \
   configure --with-contrib-vt-flags=--with-platform=linux \
   CC=pathcc-3.2 CXX=pathCC-3.2 \
   F77=pathf90-3.2 FC=pathf90-3.2

Note that the "--with-contrib-vt-flags=--with-platform=linux" is because the machine is a front-end to a Cray XT and I wanted to build VT for the front-end, not for the Cray.

This was a beta release of the 3.3 (never released?) provided to some customers, and not a general release.

I also note that my PathScale install is using gcc-4, rather than gcc-3, which I understand contains different bugs.

I will test the "stock" 3.2 with 1.5rc5 and 1.4.3rc1 and report my findings.

The PathScale 3.2 C++ compiler segment faults for optimization levels higher than -O1 (-O2 is the default). This is for OpenMPI 1.4.2 — my first attempt to compile using the PathScale compilers. I could not find any -WOPT options to eliminate the error. I don't understand the current state of the PathScale compilers. I think the company changed hands since we bought the product and the last owner went bankrupt. I think the name has been resurrected by the people that wrote the compiler. They use the same name, but I get the impression that our license is with a company that is gone now, not with them, so they want us to buy a new license. Anyway, there may be a newer compiler than 3.2 that does not have this problem.
