Ah -- Ralph pointed out the relevant line to me in your first mail that I 
initially missed:

Perhaps you should just expand the tarball once and then do VPATH builds...?

Something like this:

tar xf openmpi-1.5.3.tar.bz2
cd openmpi-1.5.3

mkdir build-gcc
cd build-gcc
../configure ........blah..........
make -j 4
make install
cd ..

mkdir build-icc
../configure CC=icc CXX=icpc FC=ifort F77=ifort ......blah.....
make -j 4
make install
cd .. 

....etc.

This allows you to have one set of source and have N different builds from it.  
Open MPI uses the GNU Autotools correctly to support this kind of build pattern.
