comm_rank's reference to MPIUI_Thread is also present on at least amd64,
and presumably due to some macro that (directly or indirectly) calls
MPIU_THREADPRIV_FIELD.  However, it's not clear why multithreaded build
settings would be in effect for mpiu_thread but not also comm_rank.  (It
looks like MPIUI_Thread's thread-locality is conditional on
MPICH_IS_THREADED, which mpichconf.h defines centrally.)

I don't have time to dig deeper, but hope that brief analysis helps.
