[petsc-dev] BuildSystem concerns

[Barry Smith]

  Stuff like this in BlasLapack.py 

 def getSharedFlag(self,cflags):
    for flag in ['-PIC', '-fPIC', '-KPIC', '-qpic']:
      if cflags.find(flag) >=0: return flag
    return ''

  def getPrecisionFlag(self,cflags):
    for flag in ['-m32', '-m64', '-xarch=v9','-q64']:
      if cflags.find(flag) >=0: return flag
    return ''

  def getWindowsNonOptFlags(self,cflags):
    for flag in ['-MT','-MTd','-MD','-threads']:
      if cflags.find(flag) >=0: return flag
    return ''


are of major concern. So someone adds a new "precision" flag in BuildSystem they have to know to go into BlasLapack.py and edit it?
