Joe,
The flags definitions have changed a bit since 1.0.7rc1. The previous
usage of the flags were causing duplication of flags for the MPICH2 test
suite. If you want to just compile MPICH2 with some flags, and not have
them reflect in mpif77, etc., you should set MPICH2LIB_FFLAGS to these
flags. Here's the usage:
FFLAGS --> used to compile MPICH2 and gets appended to mpif77
MPICH2LIB_FFLAGS --> only used to compile MPICH2
MPI_FFLAGS, etc., are deprecated.
