Bug#660259: mpich2: FTBFS: [sparc] missing files

thanks

The key information in the opa config.log is this:

configure:12452: checking for support for gcc atomic intrinsics
configure:12508: gcc -o conftest  -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall  -I./src -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/home/sthibault/mpich2-1.4.1/src/mpl/include -I/home/sthibault/mpich2-1.4.1/src/mpl/include -I/home/sthibault/mpich2-1.4.1/src/openpa/src -I/home/sthibault/mpich2-1.4.1/src/openpa/src -Wl,-z,relro  conftest.c -lpthread  >&5
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:57:9: warning: variable 'c' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
configure:12508: $? = 0
configure:12513: result: yes

So yes, despite not having explicit support for sparc atomics with gcc, opa
will build with appropriate primitives on sparc because it supports gcc
intrinsics and gcc intrinsics are available on sparc.

I'm therefore preparing an NMU with the attached patch, based on Samuel's
prior investigation, and will upload it to unstable once built.

Thanks,
