i have not had problems getting cp2k compiled in parallel over a long
time, except with broken compilers.

the compiler "hangs" are usually the result of either a compiler bug
or the compiler trying to optimize something that is difficult to
optimize
or using an algorithm for optimization that doesn't scale well with
the
complexity of the problem. this frequently happens in code that is not
at all time critical. files like f77_interface.F or pint_types.F are
typical examples. for example the IBM xlf compiler is quite sensitive
to this (it tries _very_ hard to optimize if you use a high
optimization
level), but the situation can be easily alleviated by reducing the
optimization level for those specific files. see for example the
Linux-ppc5-xlf.popt arch file.
