Hm - but I guess this error doesn't show up with ifort.

So my initial guess about 'extra notation/metadata' in the lib file
that nm/gnu-ld sounds more feasiable. [and gnu tools nm, gnu-ld are
unable to parse this stuff. However MS's linker might be resolving
this stuff correctly]

Perhaps 'dumpbin /symbols foo.lib' shows what MS linker is looking at.
Either way - looks like msmpi is unuseable from mingw-gfortran.
