[petsc-users] unable to build petsc with cuda / superlu-dist enabled

nvcc fatal   : redefinition of argument 'optimize'
make[2]: *** [SRC/CMakeFiles/superlu_dist.dir/build.make:499: SRC/CMakeFiles/superlu_dist.dir/superlu_gpu_utils.cu.o] Error 1

It seems that nvcc is unhappy with something in superlu_gpu_utils.cu  Could you check that file for any "redefinition of optimize"? Unfortunately the nvcc compiler isn't kind enough to print the line number of the redefinition or that information is lost somehow in the build process.

The most promising was I tried to build superlu_dist separately with the configure options that petsc passes it and then kept trying the build over and over droping out different configure options until I got it to work.  In that case removing a "-std=c++14" entry appeared to fix the problem but then when I made the same change in how petsc builds superlu-dist the make failed on superlu-dist with a different error.  I get the feeling I'm dealing with symptoms of the problem rather than the cause.
