Yes - we were having problems making symbols in orterun visible for the "stat" debugger when built dynamically. The symbols are actually instantiated in the debugger base, but they need to be "seen" in orterun prior to us calling orte_init. So, we had to explicitly reference them. It was working just fine, and was tested against stat, totalview, and pdb at the time. Not sure why it is now causing problems. However, as I told Nathan, if we find everything works okay without the line, then by all means remove it. However, be sure we check "stat", and that we check both static and dynamic builds under Linux as well as the Cray (IIRC, Nathan is working on the Cray with a static build?).
I have had the chance now to test it with totalview and stat 1.1.0. Looks good. I pushed the fix to the trunk and it will need to be CMRed to 1.5. -Nathan
