Build fails at linking with undefined reference to `kvtree_xxx` on Cori (NERSC)

[bebosudo]

Hi all, I wanted to try VELOC 1.4 on Cori at NERSC, but it fails at the linking phase of veloc-backend, it seems:

$ mkdir ~/veloc-1.4/
$ ./auto-install.py ~/veloc-1.4/

I've tried with the default PrgEnv-intel and also swapping with PrgEnv-gnu, and both get stuck at the same point. Any idea what the problem may be? Happy to provide more details

Please try the main branch. We have updated many of the dependencies meanwhile.
