I install MPICH on a linux 2.0.12 system, gcc version 2.7.2 with a g77
patch (version 0.58 ?). Just did 'configure' (no options), the
configure script deduced it was a linux box with ch_p4 device, then
'make', and voila... instant parallelism. 
Seems like you have a compiler problem. Are you using the latest gcc
version ? what version of mpich are you using ?
