Here is the solution. Thanks to both Giovanni Bussi and Mark Abraham for
your help.

0. configure/make/install mpi compilers (separate src, build and install
directories are used as suggested by MA)

tar -xvzfc mpich-3.1.4.tar.gz mpich-3.1.4-src
mkdir mpich-3.1.4-build
mkdir mpich-3.1.4-install
cd mpich-3.1.4-build
../mpich-3.1.4-src/configure
--prefix=/lmb/home/jkrieger/bin/mpich-3.1.4-install | & tee c.txt
make VERBOSE=1 | & tee m.txt
make install VERBOSE=1 | & tee mi.txt

1. configure/make/install plumed with addition of -fPIC to CFLAGS in
Makefile.conf before making (plumed-2.1.2 appears to need to be built in
the src directory)

tar -xvzfc plumed-2.1.2.tgz plumed-2.1.2-src
mkdir plumed-2.1.2-install
cd plumed-2.1.2-src
./configure --prefix=/lmb/home/jkrieger/bin/plumed-2.1.2-install/
CC=/lmb/home/jkrieger/bin/mpich-3.1.4-install/bin/mpicc
CXX=/lmb/home/jkrieger/bin/mpich-3.1.4-install/bin/mpicxx
manually add -fPIC to CFLAGS in Makefile.conf (done using vi)
make VERBOSE=1 | & tee m.txt
make install VERBOSE=1 | & tee mi.txt
update PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (added to ~/.login on my system and
applied by logging out and back in again)

2. patch plumed onto gromacs in --runtime mode (as per recommendation of GB)

cd ~/bin
cp -r gromacs-5.0.4-src/ gromacs-5.0.4-src-plumed/
mkdir gromacs-5.0.4-build-plumed
mkdir gromacs-5.0.4-install-plumed
cd gromacs-5.0.4-src-plumed/
plumed patch -p --runtime

3. configure/make/install gromacs with separate src/build/install
directories (as per recommendation of MA) with removal of duplicate
reference to Plumed.o from
build-dir/src/gromacs/CMakeFiles/libgromacs.dir/link.txt (as per
recommendation of GB)

cd ../gromacs-5.0.4-build-plumed
cmake -DGMX_MPI=ON ../gromacs-5.0.4-src-plumed/ -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/lmb/home/jkrieger/bin/gromacs-5.0.4-install-plumed
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/lmb/home/jkrieger/bin/mpich-3.1.4-install/bin/mpicc
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/lmb/home/jkrieger/bin/mpich-3.1.4-install/bin/mpicxx
remove duplicate reference to Plumed.o from
build-dir/src/gromacs/CMakeFiles/libgromacs.dir/link.txt (again with vi)
make VERBOSE=1 | & tee m.txt
make install VERBOSE=1 | & tee mi.txt
update PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (vi ~/.login, log out, log in again)
