Nope, you shouldn't need anything special.

Per the other thread, static linking with OpenFabrics is not for the
meek. See the OMPI FAQ in the OpenFabrics section for a question on
exactly this issue.

Also per the other thread, this is not a static linking/dynamic
linking issue.

Is there a reason you need static linking? It should be tremendously
simpler to get dynamic linking working.

What is your MPI application? Are you able to run simple MPI
applications, such as "hello world" and "ring"? (these are in the
examples/ directory in the OMPI tarball)
