Perhaps, though I don't see any benefit to this approach rather than always setting the variable. Can you elaborate? I'm building a version of boost with OMPI_MCA_disable_memory_allocator=1 set in debian/rules. There's at least one more FTBFS bug that would need to do this, which is a very nonobvious workaround to a build failure. Wouldn't it be better to have fakeroot set the variable and fix the problem in one place? Regards, -Steve
