Hello OpenMPI developers,

on Darwin/OS X, recent Libtool has some debugging symbols issue fixed.
I think that was even raised on this list a short while ago.  Also, an
issue with recent Intel compilers on Linux has been fixed.

Absoft support is not yet in Libtool, but Lahey is.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
