Your report touches several issues: > I'm not sure what the most cross platform way to return only the first > argument is. ompi_setup_f77.m4 should allow for more than one word in $F77. Autoconf typically uses something like this to extract the first word: # Extract the first word of "$ac_prog", so it can be a program name with args. set dummy $ac_prog; ac_word=$2 so OpenMPI could use that, too (with variable names changed, of course, so they don't interfere with Autoconf's), > Of course, if there was a way to get these passed to the appropriate > link stages, we could avoid this.

On the libtool command lines, you can use -Wc,-i-static to get -i-static passed to the compiler driver; and -Wl,-i-static to get it passed to the linker directly (but that would be wrong in this case). Unfortunately, you may not in general be able to stuff this in LDFLAGS at configure time (I haven't tried, it may just happen to work), so one different way would be to stick it in at make time only: make LDFLAGS=... But then, configuring with > FC="ifort -i-static" is a much better option: it tests the right setting at configure time. Note there may still be issues: libtool should actually be able to understand what -i-static really means (and for example not worry about those libraries that are linked statically). But the FC setting should get you going. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
