[Users] building on MIC

Looking at the output, it seems that Cactus uses mpicc, while icc reports
and error. Does mpicc maybe use icc? What happens if you type "mpicc
--version"?

Generally, I recommend against using mpicc, since it complicates the
configuration stage (it may be difficult to run small test programs). With
cross-compiling, this may not be so much of an issue since you can't run
test programs anyway.

I assume that you are trying this with an empty thorn list?

Your option list looks strage. Is this really a Fedora system?

You are setting MPI_DIR = /opt/apps/intel13/impi/4.1.0.024/intel64. Does
this make sense, if you expect to not be using icc? What compiler should be
used to generate the code, gcc or icc?

You are setting FPP_OPENMP_FLAGS = -D_OPENMP; this is only necessary for
very old versions of GNU cpp. For modern versions, I
recommend FPP_OPENMP_FLAGS = -fopenmp.

You are using -rdynamic in CFLAGS. This is a linker option; it should go to
LDFLAGS instead.
