<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>Adding what I apparently forgot to post: the reason this happens is the the currently used rules by ExternalLibraries look like this:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">$(UTIL_DIR)/%</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="k">$(</span><span class="nv">MPI_DIR</span><span class="k">)</span>/<span class="n">bin</span>/%
@echo <span class="s2">"Copying </span><span class="nv">$*</span><span class="s2"> from </span>$<span class="s2">< to </span><span class="k">$(</span>UTIL_DIR<span class="k">)</span><span class="s2">"</span>
-<span class="k">$(</span>MKDIR<span class="k">)</span> <span class="k">$(</span>MKDIRFLAGS<span class="k">)</span> <span class="k">$(</span>UTIL_DIR<span class="k">)</span> <span class="m">2</span>> /dev/null
cp $< <span class="nv">$@</span>
</pre></div>
<p>it a pattern-rule that says that if you need to build <code>%</code> you can build it assuming you have <code>$(MPI_DIR)/bin/%</code>. Now if <code>$(MPI_DIR)/bin</code> contains a file <code>hwloc-info</code> then make will happily run this recipe instead of say the one that has <code>$(HWLOC_DIR)/bin/%</code>.</p>
<p>The fix (above) is to make the rules more specific.</p>
