Let me check your patch. However, I don't have peruse enabled on my builds 
where I got the error this morning. Here are the flags I'm using:

--prefix=/Users/bosilca/opt/trunk/debug --enable-shared --disable-static 
--enable-debug --disable-mpi-cxx --disable-io-romio 
--enable-contrib-no-build=vt,libtrace --enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default 
--disable-mpi-profile

  George.
