Ah ha!  That was exactly the statement I needed -- it made me go look closer as to \
exactly was throwing the error statement that we were seeing.  I made the bad \
assumption that Autoconf had somehow stopped supporting --program-suffix without \
checking our own code first.

It turns out that we know that OMPI's build process doesn't support --program-suffix \
and --program-prefix (for reasons that are uninteresting to discuss here), so someone \
put in some logic a long time ago that detects these options and throws the error.  \
Hence: yes, it's our problem.  Not Autoconf's.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and sorry for the noise.
