Yes, thanks for pointing this out.

No, it's a wrong option passed to configure, as Alastair pointed out.
It should be:

  --with-pmix=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/pmix2

because without this option, the configure script doesn't detect pmix
and doesn't build the corresponding plugin.

I'm fixing this.

Thank you both for your report.

Best regards,
