 Hello!

 Trying to install the Einstein toolkit on a new machine, we came across
 this seemingly wrong behaviour:

 setting HWLOC=BUILD in the optionlist, the ET is built with the bundled
 hwloc successfully.

 However, upon building the utilities, it gives an error when it tries to
 copy hwloc-ls from /usr/bin to /exe/sim

 The error results from hwloc-ls being a broken symlink in the system, but
 the weird thing is that it actually copies the executables from /usr/bin
 when we have actually built hwloc using the bundled version.

 The same behaviour can also be seen here, where some hwloc executables are
 copied from /usr/bin, while others are copied from the hwloc bundle:

 /lstopo-no-graphics> to

 Is this wanted? I guess if one specifies HWLOC_DIR=BUILD, it should only
 use hwloc executables from the actual hwloc that comes bundled, right?

 I have attached the optionlist as well as the config-info and a tar of the
 config-data folder for the build.
