MSA Examples Failing

[jszaday]

Two of the MSA examples are broken.

examples/multiphaseSharedArrays/matmul does not compile. After superficial fixes, it will crash with:

At the time of the failure, the state of the cache group (MSA_CacheGroup::pageTable in particular) seems to be invalid.

Likewise, examples/multiphaseSharedArrays/moldyn does not compile. After superficial fixes, it will hang.

How do you even build the msa library along with LIBS? Do you put them in quotes with the build script: ./build "target1 target2 ..." as in ./build "LIBS msa"?

[jszaday]

I am unsure about how to compile MSA with the build script.

I typically run make from src/libs/ck-libs/multiphaseSharedArrays/ to make -module msa available.
