Spkg in progress here:

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/patches/openmpi-1.4.spkg

This doesn't work, and fails with this error:

The reason for this error is that newer versions of libtool break when you define $RM="rm", see #7818 comment:28

Temporary work-around is adding unset RM to spkg-install

this ticket should be fixed according to the release notes of sage 4.6.2, right ?

Sage-4.6.2 has openmpi-1.4.3 as optional spkg.
