Comment (by jfrieben@…):

 It seems that

     pkg-config --modversion hwloc < '1.6'

 is not the correct way to perform the version check; for the current
 stable version 1.10.0, the configure script erroneously concludes that
 1.10.0 < 1.6 leading to the following complaint:

     Running configuration script for thorn HWLOC:
     hwloc selected, but HWLOC_DIR not set. Checking some places...
     Found hwloc in /usr
     hwloc too old (require at least version 1.6)
     Using bundled hwloc...

 Rebuilding hwloc from the included sources is undesirable when a complete
 hwloc package provided by the OS vendor is already installed on the
 system.
