FWIW, Open MPI is on GitHub, not GitLab.

I cannot open an Gitlab issue due to lack of account(*) so I would kindly ask somebody to open one, if possible.

It seems something is going bad at the configure stage (detection of PIC flags?!). Note that last 'true' PGI compiler (tried: pgi_20.4) did not produce that issue. A known workaround is to add '-fPIC' to the CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, FCFLAGS (maybe not need to all of those). (I do not add config.log this time to avoid lockot from the mailing list; of course I can provide this and all other kind of information) Have a nice day, Paul Kapinos [1] https://developer.nvidia.com/hpc-compilers FCLD libmpi_usempif08.la<http://libmpi_usempif08.la> /usr/bin/ld: .libs/comm_spawn_multiple_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/startall_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/testall_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/testany_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/testsome_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/type_create_struct_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/type_get_contents_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/waitall_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/waitany_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/waitsome_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/pcomm_spawn_multiple_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/pstartall_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/ptestall_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/ptestany_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/ptestsome_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/ptype_create_struct_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/ptype_get_contents_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/pwaitall_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/pwaitany_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: profile/.libs/pwaitsome_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: .libs/abort_f08.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `ompi_abort_f' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value -- Dipl.-Inform.
