Hello,

Looks like a bug; did I miss something ?

My environment:

>From the FAQ:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#build-compiler-flags

LDFLAGS: Flags passed to the linker (not language-specific). This flag
is rarely required; Open MPI will usually pick up all LDFLAGS that it
needs by itself.
