The ordering here is important. Notice what mpicc does when you put in
source files (7.0 output shown here; word wrapped for e-mail):

-----
$ mpicc foo.c -o foo -showme
gcc -I/home/jsquyres/local/include -pthread foo.c -o foo \
-L/home/jsquyres/local/lib -lmpi -llam -lutil -pthread
-----

Note that the .c file must come before the libraries. This is because of
the left-to-right ordering of unix linker semantics.
