I dug in a bit and I'm not sure what's the root cause,
but what is triggering the problem is that the saquery diag
utility depends on opensm, which makes a mess of dependencies,
and at some point libtool goes berserk.

Short term, can we just skip saquery utility in OFED 1.1?
Hal, can you approve this please?

Longer term, I think saquery should be fixed not to depend on opensm - opensm is
a large tool, complicated by portability requirements etc, and it is a waste to
need parts of it on endnodes just to be able to run some diagnostics.
With RMPP support in kernel, we really sholdn't need an extra depenency
just to push a query and get a response.
Comments?
