Blast. Sorry about that; can you send a pointer to your patches? I seem to
recall that we were amenable to some of the changes, but not all of them.
...looking through the SVN commit logs, we did commit *some* BSD-related things
to the v1.4 tree. For example:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/22751
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/22890
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/22936
These fixes where what I was referring to in the changelog.
Additionally, I just put some work in the development trunk that adds support
for a new embedded software support library (hwloc), but, based on feedback
from you and others, it allows you to configure one of 3 ways:
* Use the embedded hwloc
* Use an external hwloc installation
* Don't compile hwloc at all
I plan on extending this technique to libltdl, which should hopefully obviate
at least some of your patches.
