Hmm,
On a different Linux/x86-64 host things work as expected with '-lutil'
linked explicitly:
$ ./INST/bin/mpicc -showme BLD/examples/hello_c.c
pgcc BLD/examples/hello_c.c
-I/scratch/scratchdirs/hargrove/OMPI/openmpi-1.8.2rc3-linux-x86_64-pgi-14.1/INST/include
-L/opt/torque/4.2.7.h1/lib
I've configured the 1.8.2rc3 tarball with "--enable-static
--disable-shared" on a fairly standard Linux/x86-64 platform. While there
are no problems on the same platform w/o these configure flags, with them I
cannot link any application codes.
$ mpicc -ghello_c.c -o hello_c
