I tried on a lueGene/Q on Friday after a long time and I dicovered there was an issue how MANUAL_DFLAGS was handled (see : https://github.com/QEF/q-e/commit/7f3f4fb7d12f01d4f9cd90e1291eba62b59fe5d3 ). Everything else was working fine on 5.3.0 and it should continue to work as well on 5.4.0.

The number of BlueGene/Q available worldwide is shrinking and so our ability to test the build and configure system on that particular architecture. We rely on you people like you to give us feedback is something does not work properly :-)

Cheers
