If you were using an up-to-date version of GROMACS (and it is likely
that you should do so), then you would not be able to compile with
threads and with MPI. However this GROMACS version silently ignores the
request for threads, because it wasn't implemented back then.

mpicxx is intended to be a C++ compiler. This may or may not work
correctly as a C compiler.

Something is wrong with the setup of your MPI compiler - perhaps what I
suggested above. You should verify that these work before attempting to
troubleshoot GROMACS installation further.
See
http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Installation_Instructions#Prerequisites
where you are advised not to use this version of GCC.
I don't know for sure, but this version of MVAPICH could be too old to
be useful.
