Do you care for omitting -lopen-pal and -lorte only for capable Linux
systems? With new-enough binutils, you should be able to use
-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-as-needed around these two libs.
I'm not entirely sure I understand your argumentation for why libmpi
from 1.5.x has to be binary incompatible, but I haven't fully thought
through this yet.
Cheers,
Ralf
