I think the ticket https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1769 actually
says that "that MACHINE needs to also be taken into account in the
actual search phase earlier on in detect.sh when libdir is set." So I
would treat this as work in progress and request further changes, best
to first implement all required changes in say HDF5 then replicate to
the other libraries. Please note that at least the change to HDF5 (which
is quite different from the change in Boost) just adds extra libdirs and
incdirs which is "safe".

Yours,
Roland
