Are you sure those flags are getting through to your compiler?  The 
"mpicxx.h" file should not be included at all if that macro is defined. 
Also, is there some #define of UNSIGNED_SHORT anywhere in your MinGW 
header directory?

> http://trac.mpich.org/projects/mpich/ticket/1582 which mentions the same line number as in your error messages).  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.
