why use gcc over mpicc? [mpicc should be internally using gcc so it
should satisfy the gcc requiremetn]

Look at 'mpicc -show' to determine the include & library options
required to use this MPI - and then configure PETSc with:

--with-cc=gcc --with-fc=g77 --with-mpi-include=/foo/bar/mpi/include
--with-mpi-lib=[/foo/bar/mpi/lib/libmpi.a,anotherlib.a,anotherlib.a]

'mpicc -show' should give the path to libmpi.a and its dependendent libs.
