I've frankly got no idea what you're talking about or whom you're
adressing for that matter. There is no student with any assignment and
neither are there any m4 files anywhere in the openmpi installation (at
least on Gentoo).
I'm simply a software developer trying to "properly" compile my OpenMPI
software like I would compile any other program (that is, without
auxilliary software). In more practical regard, I'd prefer that the
compilation of this program integrate well with CMake and the normal
compile process, in which additional tools such as mpicc are uncalled
for.
I hope this clears things up a little.

Constructing your own version of mpicc would mean that you dig thru the various .m4 files in the config directory to see what compiler and linker flags are being set. The code base tests the local environment using the .m4 files to determine which are applicable.
