Comment (by eschnett):
Frank -- what do you suggest concretely?
If you think that a standard Ubuntu may be broken, then we should update our standard Ubuntu option list. We can either make it build hwloc ourselves, or at least add the missing packages to the comments at the top of this list.
There is always a dilemma between using a pre-existing library and building things on our own. I usually prefer to build my own, since this is more likely to work. Others prefer using existing libraries. In this case, we probably need to extend the extent to which we test existing libraries before we use them.
