I thought the purpose of the platform file was to be equivalent to setting things on the command-line to configure. Still, it has always worked that way for us.
Here's what I'm seeing:
(dog_at_lo1-fe 297%) ./configure --prefix=/usr/projects/hpcsoft/lobo/openmpi/1.6.0-pgi-12.4 --with-platform=./optimized-panasas-pgi

configure: error: in `/usr/projects/hpctools/dog/openmpi/openmpi-1.6':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
The error happens because this particular compiler, pgi-12.4, needs two flags: -lnomp and -lnuma. Thus the reason for the LDFLAGS line in the platform file.
If I compile like this:
(dog_at_lo1-fe 297%) ./configure --prefix=/usr/projects/hpcsoft/lobo/openmpi/1.6.0-pgi-12.4 --with-platform=./optimized-panasas-pgi LDFLAGS="-nomp -lnuma"
Then the configure proceeds normally.
