Thanks for suggestion, but no, and I never will.
I've spent far too much time playing with Macintosh. I want to stay with 
gcc, and I don't care what Apple guys think of it.
If I'm not able to use plain gcc (at least for my stuff) + mpi + 
Valgrind on Mac, I will simply use this combination on Linux 
(inconvenient but not dramatic).

But still, I would appreciate a comment on ELF vs. Mach-O and .so vs. 
.dylib issue.
If it's really the cause why MPI wrappers never get activated, a short 
notice should be added to the documentation to prevent people from 
trying to build MPI wrappers on Mac OS.
