Could you please try to build Boost with that flag?  I think it would 
likely work around the problem.

I couldn't find anything about it online.  Using the #define that excludes 
mpicxx.h would likely fix the issue, though.

If that ends up being the problem, adding -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX to your compile flags might act as a workaround.  If you do hit the existing bug, you might want to post a comment on that bug saying that it breaks compiling Boost.MPI with MPICH 3.0.2.
