Applying the patch and re-building with

$ ./build charm++ mpi-linux-x86_64 --enable-error-checking --build-shared 
--with-production -j36 -w -fpermissive -O3 -DNDEBUG

I get, in tmp/config.log:

  $ ./configure --disable-controlpoint --disable-tracing 
--disable-tracing-commthread --disable-charmdebug --disable-replay 
--disable-error-checking --disable-stats --enable-error-checking

and the error:

In file included from memory.C:677:
memory-charmdebug.c:30:2: error: #error "charmdebug is not enabled (e.g. when 
building with-production)"
 #error "charmdebug is not enabled (e.g. when building with-production)"
  ^~~~~

I guess, charmdebug is disabled even without me passing
--disable-charmdebug to it, so that turns out to be a problem.

Here are the first few lines of tmp/config.log for when I explicitly
disable charmdebug:

==========
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by Charm++ configure 60900, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was
  
  $ ./configure --disable-controlpoint --disable-tracing 
--disable-tracing-commthread --disable-charmdebug --disable-replay 
--disable-error-checking --disable-stats --enable-error-checking 
--disable-charmdebug
==========

I guess --disable-charmdebug is triggered by --with-production, so both
will do the same and for some reason this breaks on alpine.

Thanks,
