	Um, I found it in /usr/bin on my el5 box.  It's linked to
/etc/alternatives/mpicc, which points back out to
/usr/bin/opal_wrapper-32.  But the point is that mpicc is in the PATH on
at least powerpc.  This is openmpi-devel-1.1.5-5.el5.

	And Tristan is right, we should be supporting MPI out of
packages other than the RPM.  We're not RedHat/OEL only.
	For building RPMs (which are vendor-specific), you want to have
openmpi-devel in the BuildRequires.
