xdlutime results

[Horatio B. Bogbindero]

so i presume that the results here are quite respectable already. btw, i
was able to get the linpacks, linpackd, 1000s and 1000d benchmark tests
but i do not know how to use them. i tried compiling and linking them to
the scalapack libraries but it complains like this:

-----------

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [linpacks] Error 1

does anyone have any idea how to use this program. it seems to missing
some pieces of code. thanks.
