One of the researchers I support is writing some Fortran code that uses Open MPI. The code is being compiled with the Intel Fortran compiler.

I can't see the code from here. The first failure to recognize the PARAMETER definition apparently gives rise to the others. According to the message, you already used the name MPI_STATUS_SIZE in mpif-config.h and now you are trying to give it another usage (not case sensitive) in the same scope. If so, it seems good that the compiler catches it.
