This toolchain failure on ia64, powerpc and sparc is holding up a large number of packages, including OpenOffice, octave, and many other scientific computing packages. It was introduced between the builds of petsc 2.3.3-8 and 2.3.3-9 i.e. between March 22 and 24, and the only difference between the two revisions was a tiny change to an unrelated build dependency. (All three of these arches use OpenMPI; the change was to the LAM MPI build dependency.) Is there any way someone can try to build petsc and investigate why it is failing? The failure occurs early on during configuration.
