Issue 1: In built target superlu_dist

Workaround: In CMakeList.txt, modify the flags "-Wl,-rpath -Wl," to "-L"

workaround: Adding the following statement to CMakeLists.txt.
set(SILO_BUILD_TYPE "ibm")

/data/gpfs/Users/l0538797/src/geosx/thirdPartyLibs/build-anag-gcc-release/mathpresso/src/mathpresso/src/mathpresso/mpcompiler.cpp:116:27: error: ‘X86Mem’ does not name a type
MATHPRESSO_INLINE const X86Mem& getMem() const { return *static_cast<const X86Mem*>(&op); }

... Lots of error messages  ...

Workaround:

1. In asmjit-master/src/asmjit/base/func.h, commenting out the entire structure of "#if defined(ASMJIT_DOCGEN)/#endif", keep only the block of code defined in the block of "#elif ASMJIT_ARCH_X64".
2. In mathpresso/src/mathpresso/src/mathpresso/mpcompiler.cpp, adding #include "asmjit/x86.h" at the beginning.
