Assuming that you are referring to MPICH....

Once you have built it, you can *install* it, which creates just enough to
compile
with and run with (include, lib, etc).  See the installation guide, and then
do

  make install PREFIX=<target directory>

then you can throw away the source code, examples, even man pages if you are
desperate
for space.
