This could mean that your mpif90 (hence the native F90) creates a different
binary format than libmpich.a's, e.g. one is in 64bit and the other is in 32bit.
Can you check if mpif90 can compile a simple fpi.f ?  What compiler flag you
passed to mpif90 ?  and how was your mpich2 built (check the output of mpich2version).
