So I confirm what you found.  I also found

http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/is/windowshpcmpi/thread/fa213e91-5b83-419b-a1df-e11a76568664

which indicates this is a known problem.  The basic symbol is in msmpi.lib:

xena.cary$ link /dump /exports msmpi.lib | grep -i mpi_f_st
                   _MPI_F_STATUSES_IGNORE
                   _MPI_F_STATUS_IGNORE

But not the symbol desired by msmpifec.lib:

xena.cary$ nm msmpifec.lib | grep -i mpi_f_st
          U __imp__MPI_F_STATUSES_IGNORE
          U __imp__MPI_F_STATUS_IGNORE

So seems not to be mingw but just a fact of the msmpi package.
