Thanks. I did end up building for all the compilers under separate
trees. It looks like the --exec-prefix option is only of use if your
compiling 32-bit and 64-bit versions using the same compiler.
$PREFIX/share/openmpi contains files that specify switches for the
compilers, and these won't be the same for different compilers, so each
compiler (gcc, pgi, intel, etc.), will need it's own
$PREFIX/share/openmpi directory.
