[petsc-users] How to change optimization flags?

[Satish Balay]

COPTFLAGS is meant for optimization flags but CFLAGS should also work.
However since each of them have their own defaults - you would use the
correct one to override the defaults.

If the option you specify is not picked up - mostlikely petsc
configure attempted to use it - and configure rejected it.

You'll have to send us configure.log to figureout why they were rejected.
