This is probably OK in the short term but eventually you will go crazy
when a bug fix in libmthca forces you to rebuild opensm, udapl, etc, etc.

X.org faced exactly the same issue and they spent a huge amount of
time converting their tree from a monolith to a modular build.  We
should learn from their suffering and not create a monolith in the
first place.
