Yes, that's the issue:

 4391 files changed, 1353847 insertions(+), 423120 deletions(-)

How can there be so many changes in this point update? Some of that comes from
autogenerated Makefile.in files. configure alone is:

openmpi-2.0.2/configure        |315387 ++++++++++

So perhaps you can get a filtered diff, saying what you have excluded (and why),
and explain what changes there are in this release and why we should accept it,
rather than a targeted fix for #848574?

Cheers,
