Comment (by knarf):
The current proposed, short-term (release), dirty solution (thanks, Steve) would be: within detect.sh emulate 'configure' of the library by calling the compiler with a minimal file and, e.g., -lnuma, and if that succeeds we assume the compiler found libnuma, could use it, and 'configure' of hwloc will find it too. This is obviously not the best solution, it is a hack, and a dirty one. It assumes stuff that can, and probably will go wrong on some machines. However, it should work on most machines, and it would be not very invasive, especially so short before a release.
Any opinions on this before we try it?
