LAM/MPI currently does not support the use of the program transform
features of configure. Unfortunately, there's no way to get rid of
the options (that I'm aware of), as some macro we uses requires the
macro that provides those configure options. To be honest, no one
has asked about it in the last many years, so it's never really
popped up on our radar to look at. I'm taking a look at supporting
the program name transform features in 7.1.2, but I can't make any
promises. Until then, our only recommendation is to not use the
program transform options to configure.
