Hi Abhinav

Did you add to your compiler flags -Bstatic [or perhaps -static],
or any optimization flags that may include -Bstatic/-static?
Check also the compiler configuration, and any possible user customization 
[~/.mypggcc and friends] to see if -Bstatic is there, maybe inadvertently, and 
is set by default.
That is all I can think of.
Maybe it will require  Jeff and the Open MPI developers to sort
the problem out.
