RHEL8 build

Dear HPC mpifileutils tool maintenor,

For a lustre installation, I was asked to build on RHEL8.6 this tool via the specfile you provide.

Here is the file I add to use:

Name:           mpifileutils
Version:        v0.11.1

URL:            https://hpc.github.io/mpifileutils
Source:         %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
BuildRoot:      %_topdir/BUILDROOT

%prep
%setup -q

%build
#topdir=`pwd`
#installdir=$topdir/install

cmake ./ -DWITH_DTCMP_PREFIX=${installdir} -DWITH_LibCircle_PREFIX=${installdir} -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%{buildroot}/usr -DENABLE_LUSTRE=ON -DENABLE_XATTRS=ON
make

%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}
make install
#make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT


%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%{_bindir}/*
%{_includedir}/*
%{_libdir}/*
%{_mandir}/*
%{_datadir}/*

%changelog

Also, I had to use this commandline:

QA_SKIP_BUILD_ROOT=1  rpmbuild --nodebuginfo   -ba mpifileutils.spec

I was a bit in a hurry to get the tool available so removing debuginfo and not having to use QA is not a good idea so maybe it is possible to be better int he compilation... Also, those tips can help others who need to build this tool!

I prefer not asking for a PR as the modifications are not clean but maybe it is possible to work on updating the file to meet the RHEL requirements.

Addon: I forgot to say that I needed also to load an MPI library and this was done via a "module load openmpi" (specific to my platform here)

Start by locating the provided RPM specfile and reviewing its CMake and packaging settings. Reproduce the RHEL8.6 build with rpmbuild, the reported dependencies, and the required MPI module, then compare the result with the current workaround. Done means the specfile builds and packages mpifileutils on RHEL8 without skipping QA or debuginfo checks.
