Description

Hello,

I am trying to build mpiP and see below error:

```
==> 'make'
python /home/guest/workarena/softwares/sources/spack/var/spack/stage/mpip-3.4.1-x7l5jk256ayuuirddcxdpbpytlnis3hq/mpiP-3.4.1/make-wrappers.py --xlate --arch=x86_64 --f77symbol symbol_ mpi.protos.txt make-wrappers.py

```

The LOGNAME env variable is not set on this system (actually container). Would be nice if we handle this case.

Research direction

Start in make-wrappers.py at StandardFileHeader, where the traceback shows os.environ["LOGNAME"] is accessed, and review the make-wrappers.py invocation from the Makefile. Reproduce the build with LOGNAME unset; done means mpiPi_def.h is generated and make completes without the KeyError.
