Actually, --enable-shared was required in mpich2-1.3b1 as well, but we didn't throw an error earlier if it was not specified. Without --enable-shared you'll end up with some shared and some static libraries.

Btw, --enable-sharedlibs=gcc is not required anymore for most platforms. --enable-shared will try to autodetect it where possible. But passing it doesn't hurt.
