Any chance upstream might help with that? Have they been contacted?  
Are they willing to fix that?

Any chance of patching the Makefiles so that two files with same case- 
sensitive names are created with two different case-sensitive names,  
such as

bin/mpicc
bin/mpiCC_uppercase

or something similar? Maybe a (shorter) prefix or suffix, or a  
different hierarchy. Not sure how much breakage that would incur  
though. In theory other Fink packages can be patched to use these  
prefixed or suffixed file names.
