Hi Mădălin,

Thanks for the patch.

Unfortunately, there are a few problems.

- you added autoconf and automake, but neither of these is used as the
  git checkout includes a pre-built “configure” script and “Makefile.in”

- we cannot use the “configure” script as is, because the build system
  uses AX_EXT, which unconditionally adds -msse* compiler flags when the
  CPU on the build node supports these features.  This means that we
  cannot build a generic binary.  The build system ignores
  “--disable-sse”, “--disable-avx”, and “--disable-fma” because of
  AX_EXT.

- we cannot rebuild the “configure” script because the bootstrap phase
  fails with an error.  Adding pkg-config to the native inputs does not
  seem to fix this either, so more investigation is needed.

- consider adding openmpi and use --enable-mpi.

- consider shortening the description.  Especially the parts that
  mention proprietary software or trademarks (UNIX and Macintosh, as
  well as NVIDIA) should be removed.

Could you please revise this and send an updated patch?
