There's some extra special mojo that needs to be supplied when cross-compiling 
Open MPI (e.g., a file that specifies all the ./configure answers for tests 
that it can't run in a cross-compiling environment).  

The wiki page Ralph was talking about was referring to instructions on how to 
create this answer file.  I can't seem to find it, either.

Brian -- any idea what happened to that wiki page?

I've pinged our ARM contact to see how he compiles OMPI for the ARM platform.
