When compiling HDF5 1.8.11. I was able to use a generic x86_64 server that has 
the Cray Software stack installed (including Cray's version of MPI) to compile 
HDF5 without problems. When configuring HDF5 1.8.12 it tries to execute a test 
that was linked with mpich (which only installed for cross-compiling purposes) 
that isn't  functional at run-time. I was able to get it to compile by adding 
the configure option "--host=cray" but the configure summery reports:
   Host system: j90-cray-unicos
It then compiles (and make check passes when running on machines that do 
support MPI runtime). The Cray J90 is almost 20 years old. Are they any 
negative ramifications to setting this host that I may not be noticing ? Thanks.
