Can you send the file config.log in the directory src/mpid/common/locks 
?  My guess is that the IB channel has added something to LIBS (such as a 
special library) that it shouldn't have, and that addition is causing the 
link step of the test program to fail.  The exact gcc test used is written 
into the config.log file.
