Does not compile with openmpi-4.0.3 (and it seems with any openmpi >= 3.0)

Hi,

Verrou fails to compile on my ubuntu20.04 where openmpi is 4.0.3. It seems that it fails with any openmpi >= 3.0, as the error message looks like:

 >> 1628    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/include/mpi.h:322:57: error: expected expression before '_Static_assert'
     1629      322 | #define THIS_SYMBOL_WAS_REMOVED_IN_MPI30(func, newfunc) _Static_assert(0, #func " was removed in MPI-3.0.  Use " #newfunc " instead.")
     1630          |                                                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     1635      366 |       case MPI_COMBINER_STRUCT_INTEGER: fprintf(f, "STRUCT_INTEGER"); break;

It works with openmpi-2.1.6.

The spack build also fails for the same reason (the dependency with mpi seems to be missing in the spack package).

Thanks! Olivier

Thanks @ojamond. Your workaround helps, here is the diff on the spack recipe if it can help others:

It's a problem already reported in the valgrind bugtracker (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420518 )

As verrou do not use the mpi wrapper, you can use old versions of openmpi. For other valgrind tool (memcheck dhar ...) I don't know what are the consequences.
