Neither MPI library needs blcr to work.
Why not fix the reporting problem by patching the bug submission tool to check for duplicates? It would be a useful feature more generally in other cases too surely? I have a patch for this, adding support for more recent kernels in testing/development with the upstream authors at the moment, but there are a number of non-trivial changes in code that may have usage cases I'm not aware of or subtle bugs in corner cases so I'm awaiting an ACK from them to proceed.
