You could also just compile everything 32 bit, and then not use the heterogeneous flag.

Keep in mind that you may still lose precision if you, for example, send a 64 MPI_DOUBLE to a machine where MPI_DOUBLE is 32 bit. There's not too much that OMPI can do there.
The heterogeneous flag is more traditionally used for endian flipping kinds of things.
