Comment (by eschnett):
This may or may not circumvent the problem. I suspect it would. At some point we decided to use static libraries as much as possible when building Cactus, since this reduces dependences on things that can change after the executable has been built. I don't think this is a priority any more. You could try this; node that hwloc's configuration script already omits the --static as a fallback, if pkgconfig does not support this option.
In general, if there is a machine where something is broken, we use Simfactory's option list to circumvent the problem. In this case, we would set "hwloc=BUILD" in the options, probably accompanied by a comment explaining why.
