I've seen several cases now where people have functional, installed MPI

The cases I've seen this happen is with the Sun Studio compiler when a
source file pulls in a header that defines an inline static function
that uses some extern symbols but the inline static function itself is
never used. For some reason Sun Studio (I believe I've seen another
compiler do this also pgi or pathscale I think) decides to make those
extern symbols unresolved instead of just ignoring them.
That explains a couple of occurrences I've seen. Another example is
Jeffs debug-handles branch where the code incorrectly called free
instead of mqs_free, unfortunately free is #defined to be opal_free
which then becomes an undefined symbol.
The current trunk and 1.5 branch should have this issue extricated from
it. However, this seems to always creep in every so often. So the
below test is greatly appreciated. Also, have you ran this test against
the trunk and 1.5, yet (is my belief of things are clean there correct)?
I've run it against a slightly stale version of the trunk which is as
you say clean currently. I'm not sure where I'd get a 1.5 branch from
but if you point me to it I can test this as well.
You can get it from the svn branch repo:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/branches/v1.5
You might as well also try 1.4 which should also be clean:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/branches/v1.4
