@hppritcha This line is not correct. We regularly test xlf in this way. It is correct the XL and OpenSHMEM have a problem. See note on line 180/182 about that issue. I think this bullet should be removed.

I think I messed this up with a conflict rebase. removing.

| - The PGI compiler is not supported on OS-X. |

Nit picks:
- The PGI compiler itself may be supported on OS X -- we don't want to say that it isn't. We want to say that Open MPI doesn't support building with the PGI compiler on OS X.
- It's not "OS-X". It's "OS X" and "MacOS".
How about:
Open MPI does not support the PGI compiler suite on OS X or MacOS.

We should say why (in case PGI fixes the bug). Something like "Open MPI does not support PGI on OS X and MacOS due to link errors when building applications." (or whatever the problem is; I can't find the original issue right now). Otherwise, we'll not remember why this note is here in a year when everything appears to work properly.

I'll cite the issue numbers like we do for other problems further down in the README. |
