Noticing the FAQ, http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#build-rte
Rather than simply running `./confiugre --disable-shared --enable static` and having /everything/ compiled statically, is it possible to compile only the bare minimum to get the tm module working, and leave the rest as dynamically loadable?
--enable-mca-static=pls:tm,ras:tm doesn't seem to cut it, as liborte is still compiled dynamically; and I don't know enough of the Open MPI architecture to say if this is even feasable...
I do realize that it would be easier if PBS Professional were compiled with -fPIC so that a DSO tm module could be built; I've asked Altair's support to do so in the past, and received a response to the effect of "it's in the suggestion box; no idea if it will happen."
It would be nice if they (Altair) would read some of the documentation from the x86-64 project: http://www.x86-64.org/lists/discuss/msg05760.html (Basically, a plead with suppliers of static libraries to compile with -fPIC on x86-64).
