On my El Capitan macbook I get a segfault when running the program below with more than a single process but only when MPICH has been compiled with Clang.
I don't get that good debug info but here is some of what I got
(lldb) c
Process 61129 resuming
Process 61129 stopped

My version of Clang is
Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
and the bug has been confirmed by my colleague who is running Linux and compiling with Clang 3.8. The program runs fine with OpenMPI+Clang.
#include <mpi.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm comm = MPI_COMM_WORLD;
uint64_t *A, *C;
int rnk;
MPI_Comm_rank(comm, &rnk);
A = calloc(1, sizeof(uint64_t));
C = calloc(2, sizeof(uint64_t));
A[0] = rnk + 1;
MPI_Allgather(A, 1, MPI_UINT64_T, C, 1, MPI_UINT64_T, comm);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
