CP2K build with Intel Compiler and MKL

[Matthias]

Hi Ondrej,

I have just experienced the same behavior using the Intel compiler on
a ia64 system (Altix 4700, Itanium2). I tried several ifort compiler
releases, but none worked properly for all tests (many NaN, seg.
faults etc.). Finally, I gave up with the Intel compiler, even if it
would be obviously the first-choice compiler especially for an Itanium
system and switched to gfortran 4.4.1 which works even fine with the
pre-installed MKL. Thus the performance degradation is not that
serious, but still the price to pay for working CP2K executable.
However, if somebody knows about a working release/flag combination
for the Intel compiler, I would also appreciate this information.
