[patch] Make MPIx, PRRTE and MPL more portable for non-GNU

[ksalerno99]

Thank you for taking the time to submit an issue!

Background information

Make MPIx and PRRTE more portable for AIX, HP-UX and MSVC - do not include getopt.h (see patches)

Make MPL more portable for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris and MSVC - do not include ifaddrs.h (see patches)

What version of Open MPI are you using? (e.g., v4.1.6, v5.0.1, git branch name and hash, etc.)

5.0.5 stable

Describe how Open MPI was installed (e.g., from a source/distribution tarball, from a git clone, from an operating system distribution package, etc.)

source tarball

If you are building/installing from a git clone, please copy-n-paste the output from git submodule status.

Please describe the system on which you are running

• Operating system/version: AIX 7.3 TL1 SP4 rev2420
• Computer hardware: POWER10
• Network type: Ethernet

Details of the problem

Please describe, in detail, the problem that you are having, including the behavior you expect to see, the actual behavior that you are seeing, steps to reproduce the problem, etc. It is most helpful if you can attach a small program that a developer can use to reproduce your problem.

Note: If you include verbatim output (or a code block), please use a GitHub Markdown code block like below:

shell$ mpirun -n 2 ./hello_world

Need to ponder this a bit more, but I don't believe we can accept those changes. If we copy code from GNU, that code is GPL'd and will therefore cause us to become GPL - which is something we are unwilling to do.

Hi, The c library is LGPL, not GPL.

Still, merits some careful consideration. We generally steer a very wide berth around GPL of any type. Might be a different approach required that doesn't in any way come near any GPL variation.
