This should be fixed in numpy/distutils/fcompiler/intel.py file.

This is because usually distutils should take care of this.

--compiler is for specifying C compiler, use --fcompiler instead.
--help-fcompiler shows which fortran compilers are found in the system.

scipy-user list is ok. I don't have intel compiler in my system and
therefore I cannot test the problems you experience.
If you think that you have found a bug or it is an issue that needs
to be fixed in numpy, please file a ticket. Sooner or later someone
will try to resolve your tickets.
