On all the affected systems I found the following (modulo the system

Clearly my failures are "known" to somebody.
However, I have multiple "issues" with the current behavior.
1) At an minimum the WARNING mention --without-hwloc
2) Is this "build and pray" approach to unknown platforms really wise?
3) Shouldn't something appear in the README about this? The
--without-hwloc option doesn't even appear in README.
Maybe the wording is a bit too strong, but you can ignore this. What
happens in the vast majority of cases like this is that hwloc will only
know how many processors the system has, and hwloc won't be able to bind
tasks to processors. But that's still not worse than disabling hwloc.

I cannot even *build* OpenMPI on {Free,Open,Net}BSD systems unless I
configure with --without-hwloc.
Thus I cannot agree w/ Brice's suggestion that I ignore this warning.
