The problem looks like string.h on your system #defines strncmp to some inline macro but MPICH2 attempts to provide a "missing" prototype for strncmp.  The prototype probably isn't actually missing, the PAC_FUNC_NEEDS_DECL configure macro is probably broken instead in this sort of environment.

Can you send us the "config.log" file from your build as well?  That will help us confirm and fix the problem.

I feel like we've encountered this and dealt with it before in some way, but I can't remember anything specific and I didn't find anything by googling and searching my email archives.
