Ah! Thanks, Jeff. Here is a link to the relevant zip file " openmpi-1.6.5_configure_and_make.zip<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B53THZfOZ1qmY1VtaU5obUtUSDQ/edit?usp=sharing>". It contains the modified configure (essentially replacing the compound "if" statement that assigns ompi_cv_asm_arch="IA32" because my "long" is size 4); the replacement is the simply the alternative assignment that configure would chose if my "long" size were not 4: ompi_cv_asm_arch="AMD64"
The zip file contains: configure_modified config.log openmpi-1.6.5_configure.out (the output of configure executed from within another script) make_-j_2.out (the output from the parallel attempt at make), and make.out--(nonparallel make).out The make command still does not get past the building of of asm.c in /openmpi-1.6.5/opal/asm I ran the nonparallel make to eliminate any confusion over the parallel creation of object file atomic-asm.o in subdirectory .libs by command CPPAS atomic-asm.lo at the same time that the command CC asm.lo was about to "crash" with lots of warnings and with seemingly uninformative "Error" messages.
