Sorry I didn't see this one earlier. Using the --mpi option to build mpi4py is not the recommended way of building it. The docs are a little out of date on this one. The following should work:
python setup.py build --mpicc=path_to_your_mpicc_executable Let me know if that works! I build mpi4py regularly on my MacBook and it always works fine this way. When I buiild using --mpi=foo instead, I get your error. Hopefully we can get the documentation updated soon.
