I don't think this option does anything [on windows]

PETSc does not use scalapack or blacs. They are dependencies for MUMPS [which petsc has an interface to]

I'm not sure why you are having to respecify MKL via LIBS option.

Also with PETSc MPI usage - its best to use sequential MKL - and not threaded MKL - for eg:

You can switch to the compatible version of hypre - or fix revert the code change..
