New description:

 While the various openmpi-* subports declare a build dependency on the
 target compiler, they do not declare a lib dependency for it.

 The implications are that:
 1. The target compiler will be installed for a source build, only to be
 uninstalled during a reclaim operation.
 1. For a binary install, the target compiler will never be installed. So
 when a user attempts to use the associated compiler wrappers, they will
 fail with "The Open MPI wrapper compiler was unable to find the specified
 compiler."

 This doesn't provide a good user experience. Instead, we should add a lib
 dependency on the target compiler, to avoid this situation.

 Of note, this is already being done for mpich-* subports. But apparently
 this was missed for openmpi.
