Thanks for the report. Someone reported pretty much the same issue to me
off-list a few days ago for RHEL5.
It looks like RHEL5 / 6 ship with Autoconf 2.63, and have a /usr/lib/rpm/macros
that defines %configure to include options such as --program-suffix. We
bootstrapped Open MPI v1.5 with Autoconf 2.65, which does not understand the
--program-suffix option.
I don't know why AC 2.65 dropped the --program-suffix option, but this seems to
be where we are.
I've emailed a contact at Red Hat asking for advice on what to do here -- I
can't imagine Open MPI is the only package in this situation.
