Incompatible pointer type when compiling on 32-bit PPC with MPICH

[hpckurt]

This is more than likely not anywhere close to a supported environment, but thought I'd submit the issue anyways.

Both GKLib and Metis compile without issue on 32-bit PPC, however, ParMETIS does not.

The 32-bit PPC system I'm working with is running MPICH for the MPI implementation as well.

Full error is the following:

Looks like the error happens when it tries to build gkmpi.c
