Just to set the record straight: it's a Libtool problem with PGI version 10 (all PGI versions below 10 work fine).
This has been reported to the GNU Libtool folks and patches have already been applied upstream. However, there hasn't been a new Libtool release yet with these patches, so we have to patch during the Open MPI build (hence, the solution is in our autogen.sh script, which sets up the configure/build system).
