[Numpy-discussion] compile process of numpy-1.5.0 fails in Itanium cluster with icc

hi,

I'm trying to install numpy-1.5.0 in our Itanium (IA-64) supercomputer 
[http://www.cesga.es/content/view/917/115/lang,en/ ].

This is my site.cfg (I have to install umfpack but I think this is not the 
problem): 

$ cat site.cfg
[DEFAULT]
library_dirs = 
/opt/cesga/fftw-3.2.2/lib:/opt/cesga/intel/intel11.0/Compiler/11.1/056/mkl/lib/64  
include_dirs = 
/opt/cesga/fftw-3.2.2/include:/opt/cesga/intel/intel11.0/Compiler/11.1/056/mkl/include 

#[umfpack]
#umfpack_libs = umfpack

[fftw]
libraries = fftw3

[mkl]
library_dirs = /opt/cesga/intel/intel11.0/Compiler/11.1/056/mkl/lib/64  
lapack_libs = mkl_lapack
mkl_libs = mkl_core

The only hacks that I made: 

$ diff numpy/distutils/system_info.py  ../numpy-
scipy/numpy-1.5.0/numpy/distutils/system_info.py
818c818
<     _lib_mkl = ['mkl','mkl_lapack','guide']
---
>     _lib_mkl = ['mkl','vml','guide']

$ diff numpy/distutils/intelccompiler.py  ../numpy-
scipy/numpy-1.5.0/numpy/distutils/intelccompiler.py
11c11
<     cc_exe = 'icc -O3 -openmp -lpthread -fPIC'
---
>     cc_exe = 'icc'

 
And I have used this script to launch the compilation process: 

$ cat compilar.sh 
#!/bin/bash

module load nose/0.10.4 fftw/3.2.2 ifort/11.1.056 icc/11.1.056 mkl/10.2.2

python setup.py config --compiler=intele --fcompiler=intele build install --
prefix=/home/cesga/mpan/numpy-1.5.0

exit 0

blas and lapack are detected properly:

but, unfortunately, the compilation process ends with an unexpected 
realocation problem: 

$ tail -n 11 compilar.log

with differents combinations (MKL 9.1, no optimatazions flags, no hacks.....) 
I have the same problem.

any idea?
