Jacob,
I split the mat definitions in the MR https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/3696 <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/3696> and this reduced memory requirements enough to get builds through on some VM that failed previously ran out of memory (with gfortran).
The petsc*mod.F90 files are all handwritten so it is ok to manually change them with imports if that helps the IBM compiler. To me the best solution is to first split the files when possible (it is often not or just too painful) and then adding imports if needed.
Note also the MR https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/3715/diffs <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/3715/diffs> which may help a great deal with the IBM compiler or not.
Thanks
Barry

>>> Every USE statement in an interface block opens up the module symbol file and reads all the symbols from it and creates an entity for each symbol in compiler. This is unnecessary when the module already has the same USE statement in the module scope. Instead, users can use IMPORT statement to make the module symbols accessible inside interface face blocks.
>>>
>>> With the change, the compiler would only read the module symbol file once and create one set of symbols where the old code reads the module symbol files as many times as the number of the USE statements in Interface blocks and create that many sets of duplicate symbols. Replacing those USE statements with IMPORT statements also shortens the compile time significantly.
