Here's the comment I put in OMPI's configure script with regards to the offsetof problem:
# This macro checks to ensure that the compiler properly supports # offsetof(). The PGI compilers had a problem with this macro in some # versions of their compiler on some platforms (e.g., 9.0-1 on # x86_64). The workaround is to use -DNO_PGI_OFFSET in these cases. # A bug report was submitted to PGI support in late June 2009; the # problem was apparently a trivial typo in one of their header files # and should be fixed in subsequent releases (e.g., 9.0-2?). I don't know the exact version of PGI 9.0-x where it was fixed, but I'm pretty sure it *was* fixed at some point. Regardless, the workaround (add -DNO_PGI_OFFSET to CPPFLAGS) should make it work for you.
