[MPICH] build mpich2 with Myrinet GM

[Wei-keng Liao]

I tried intel-c-9.1.046 and it failed with the same error.
The only 2 Intel v9 available on the machine are:

 +intel-c-9.0.032-f-9.0.033-r1  Intel C/Fortran Build 20060223
 +intel-c-9.1.046-f-9.1.041-r1  Intel C/Fortran Build 20070111

There is no v10 and above available there.

I need fortran compiler, but gfortran is not available there, either.
