You might want to check out this link for configuring third party libraries

https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools/wiki/pm-project-config#ChecksForThird-PartyComponents

It looks like the configure script is looking for the function/symbol it
can't find in the libmpich.a library. When I configure the ac script for
a third party library I often do something like

AC_COIN_HAS_USER_LIBRARY([Mpi],[MPI],[mpi.h],[])

and leave the last argument [] empty so it doesn't look for a symbol in
the library.

Cheers,
