mpich: declare lib dependency on target compiler

Port: mpich

Description

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

The implications are that:

  1. The target compiler will be installed for a source build, only to be uninstalled during a reclaim operation.
  2. 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 being done for Clang subports; it simply isn't for those using GCC as a target.

I'll take care of fixing this, as I just made similar changes to openmpi.
