[Dune] Problems compiling dune trunk on Cray XT6

[Markus Blatt]

Hey,

the flags in your opts-file seem to be a little bit messy.

The -all-static flags has to be the first linker flags specified.

Please remove the linker flags (-L... -l....) and perhaps even the
static flag here.. The linker flags need to go into LDFLAGS

The same holds here

and here.

This is the right place.

Because the first test does not use your additional flags.


BTW: Somehow you seem to do much work in the flags manually that
configure should actually do for you. Maybe Eike and Christoph might
give you hint how they build on the Cray.
