Ugh, wish you had told me that about two years ago... In any case, we can simplify the build process substantially.
All you have to do is make sure that the CMake search paths find the compute optimized versions of everything and you are good to go. Better still, not cross compiling means we can finally compile numpy on BlueGenes. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
