Ah ha! That was exactly the statement I needed -- it made me go look closer as
to exactly was throwing the error statement that we were seeing. I made the
bad assumption that Autoconf had somehow stopped supporting --program-suffix
without checking our own code first.
It turns out that we know that OMPI's build process doesn't support
--program-suffix and --program-prefix (for reasons that are uninteresting to
discuss here), so someone put in some logic a long time ago that detects these
options and throws the error. Hence: yes, it's our problem. Not Autoconf's.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and sorry for the noise.
