[petsc-users] configuration error

[Smith, Barry F.]

  Manav,

    Thanks for reporting the problem 

  Fande,

    Thanks for the pointer.

    Satish determined the correct long term fix and it is in the branch barry/fix-lto_library-option-maint and will be put in the maint branch and master branch if it passes the testing tonight.

   Barry
