As a note of explanation: hwloc is effectively our replacement for libnuma.
You might want to check out hwloc (the standalone software package) -- it has a
CLI and is quite useful for administrating servers, even outside of an HPC
environment:
http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/
hwloc may use libnuma under the covers; that's where this issue is coming from
(i.e., OMPI may still use libnuma -- it's just now doing so indirectly, instead
of directly).

Your configure line looks fine to me.
FWIW/heads up: in the 1.7 series, we're going to be ignoring the $F77 and
$FFLAGS variables; we'll *only* be using $FC and $FCFLAGS. There's still
plenty of time before this hits mainstream, but I figured I'd let you know it's
coming. :-)
