This would explain everything, except it is happening on a
case sensitive file system:
Volumes:
hachi:
Capacity: 232.57 GB
Available: 170.74 GB
Writable: Yes
File System: Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+
BSD Name: disk0s2
Mount Point: /
(I had to go check!) Is fink itself doing a
case-insensitive comparison?

I followed the above, it worked, with a warning about mpiCC
this time (upper case instead of lower case). And here is
what I now have installed:
ls -l /sw/bin/*mpicc /sw/bin/*mpiCC
8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 16 Jul 1 17:20 /sw/bin/mpiCC@
-> /sw/bin/om-mpicc
8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 12 Jul 1 17:19
/sw/bin/om-mpicc@ -> opal_wrapper
And to prove it is case sensitive, so the file system isn't
the cause of the problem:
sudo touch /sw/bin/mpicc; ls -l /sw/bin/*mpicc /sw/bin/*mpiCC
8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 16 Jul 1 17:20 /sw/bin/mpiCC@
-> /sw/bin/om-mpicc
0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 0 Jul 1 17:25 /sw/bin/mpicc
8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 12 Jul 1 17:19
/sw/bin/om-mpicc@ -> opal_wrapper

Maybe someone tried to do this and it isn't working as
intended?
Meanwhile, my rebuild grace is proceeding nicely, fingers
crossed for it solving my original problem.
many thanks,
