Though I participate on this list, I am not one of the Open MPI developers,
and do not pretend to speak for them.

So, speaking only for myself, I already recommend that users of any recent
Open MPI avoid compiling it using the PathScale compilers.
My own testing shows that both ekopath-5.0.5 and ekopath-6.0.527 experience
Internal Compiler Errors or SEGVs when building Open MPI, and at least one
other package I care about (GASNet).
So I think you can understand why I find it ironic that PathScale should
request that the Open MPI sources revert to C89 to support PathScale
compilers for an EOL distro.
