[mesa-users] MESA compilation on BG/P with XL compilers

This is not an answer to your question, but have you considered
submitting the MESA compilation as a job (so it runs on the compute
nodes)?  That might provide a quick & easy workaround.

If that's no good, you can probably turn off the tests by dropping in
versions of the ck scripts in utils/test that simply don't do anything.
