Re: wip/slurm build on NetBSD 7.1.1

That's a good point, thanks, but that would only improve the hack I was 
using to work around the issue.

What I really needed was figure out why configure script fails to 
generate the same link options on NetBSD and CentOS.

The root error in the configure output turned out to be this:

checking Link to libslurm.so instead of libslurm.o... ./configure: 
LIB_SLURM+= -L$(top_builddir)/src/api/.libs -lslurmfull: not found

I dug into the configure script and traced where the error was coming 
from.  While in there, I discovered an unadvertised configure flag:

--with-shared-libslurm=no

that worked around the issue rather nicely, and I was ready to go with 
that as a semipermanent solution, but looking more closely at the source 
of the error I realized the problem is that the configure script is 
using bash extensions.

A little more digging revealed a simple solution in the pkgsrc Makefile:

CONFIG_SHELL=    bash

So slurm 17.11.3 is now building on NetBSD with pretty much all feasible 
features except CPU affinity.  That's going to take some work as the 
affinity functions are not standardized across platforms, so I'll put it 
off for a future update.
