Compiling OpenBLAS from source produces strange error message

Issue #2400 resolved
Former user created an issue

Trying to compile OpenBLAS from the included tarball (0.2.19.a) produces a strange error message (gcc 9.3.1):

gcc -g -std=gnu99 -O2 -fopenmp -Wall -O2 -DMAX_STACK_ALLOC=2048 -Wall -m64 -DF_INTERFACE_GFORT -fPIC -DSMP_SERVER -DNO_WARMUP -DMAX_CPU_NUMBER=24 -DASMNAME= -DASMFNAME=_ -DNAME=_ -DCNAME= -DCHAR_NAME=\"_\" -DCHAR_CNAME=\"\" -DNO_AFFINITY -I.. -rdynamic -w -o linktest linktest.c ../libopenblas_nehalemp-r0.2.19.so -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9 -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/../../../../lib -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/../../..  -lgfortran -lm -lquadmath -lm -lc  NAME=/data/rhaas/postdoc/gr/cactus/CactusAMReX/configs/amrex/lib/libthorn_OpenBLAS.a  && echo OK.

make[5]: *** [Makefile:134: ../libopenblas_nehalemp-r0.2.19.so] Error 1

As far as I can tell the incorrect string may (though I have no idea really) produced by c_check and in particular the line:

    $link = `$compiler_name -c ctest2.c -o ctest2.o 2>&1 && $compiler_name $openmp -v ctest2.o -o ctest2 2>&1 && rm -f ctest2.o ctest2 ctest2.exe`;

which sets $link to the output of gcc -v for a compiler call. Possibly this goes away when updating the tarball.

    The NAME=... nonsense comes from gcc -v apparently outputting MAKEFLAGS=… which has NAME= in it. $linker is:

    This fragment fixes the issue:

    by removing all Cactus build system make variables from MAKEFLAGS (but keeping eg -j for parallelism).

    Using gcc -v to learn about libraries that need to be linked against seems very wrong to me and modifying MAKEFLAGS is a poor way of working around this issue.

    To be applied after the release and code deep freeze (on May 28th) and backported, along with an update of the tarball to 0.3.9.
