[mpich2-dev] MPICH2 BGQ src/mpix/armci autoconf fails

[Jeff Hammond]

BGQ MPICH2 does not come with a single build script but I created one
from the many things IBM provided:
https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/parts/index.php/MPICH2_on_Blue_Gene/Q

I am using ./maint/updatefiles.  I deleted mpix/armci and then had to
bring in mpl and opa from the trunk (non-source changes only anyways)
to get it compile but then I was able to build without error using
GCC.

I prefer to not regress my autotools setup and since I have a
workaround now, I can live with what's there.
