Can you ask your fellow to install like this?:

$ brew install mpich2 --enable-shared

A friend of mine has similar issues when using static libraries,
however I remember this was also related to Python distutils from the
Anaconda Python distribution insisting on using an old OS X deployment
target.

Ask your fellow to make sure to have the latest Xcode, "brew doctor"
will tell. I've been having this issue a few month ago, it was related
to a know clang issue that eventually got fixed in latest Xcode.
