[mpich-discuss] building libraries

[Pavan Balaji]

This part is actually done by autoconf, and not by MPICH2 itself. So, I 
don't know how it can be changed. Maybe some autoconf experts can chime in?

In the meanwhile, is there a way for you to change the compiler's 
default output name? One way is to create a wrapper that does something 
like:

  $ cat wrapper_cc
xcc $@ && if [ -e a.xe ] ; then mv a.xe a.out ; fi

This will create an "a.out" output file instead of "a.xe".
