test_suite failure on Apple

FYI, I was able to build CTF on my mac with Clang+OpenMPI and Clang+MPICH. However, after some fiddling, was not able to correctly build with GCC+OpenMPI. The configure statement ran correctly, but I was getting errors similar to:

Also, I noticed that there seems to be an error in the configure file for Apple OSX: The ld binary is assumed to be able to use -rpath=... but it must be written as -rpath ... (i.e., a space rather than an equation symbol). After manually changing that in the configure file (in 2 places), the configure statement ran for GCC+OpenMPI on Mac OSX, but, as mentioned above, make python_test failed.

For reference, my configure statement was:

./configure CXX="/usr/local/Cellar/open-mpi/4.1.5/bin/mpicxx" INCLUDES="-I/usr/local/Cellar/open-mpi/4.1.5/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/openblas/0.3.23/include/" LIB_PATH="-L/usr/local/Cellar/open-mpi/4.1.5//lib/ -L/usr/local/Cellar/openblas/0.3.23/lib/ -L/usr/local/Cellar/scalapack/2.2.0_1/lib/" LIBS="-lblas -llapack -lmpi -lscalapack" LD_LIB_PATH="-L/usr/local/Cellar/open-mpi/4.1.5//lib/ -L/usr/local/Cellar/openblas/0.3.23/lib/ -L/usr/local/Cellar/scalapack/2.2.0_1/lib/" LD_LIBS="-lblas -llapack -lmpi -lscalapack"

and I had to set environment variables OMPI_CC, OMPI_CXX to the correct gcc,g++ binaries, respectively else it automatically linked to Clang.
