Problem with compilation with multi-threading + mkl + fftw3 (and gnu compiler)

Small update:

Looking at old threads I tried to modify the arch file (be careful, last 
line begin with a tab, not several spaces):

## Begin test.ssmp ##
MKLROOT = /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/mkl
MKLLIB = $(MKLROOT)/lib/intel64
FFTW3ROOT = $(HOME)/cp2k_build/src/fftw3_vanilla/fftw-3.3.5/installazione

CC = gcc
CPP =
FC = mpif90
LD = mpif90
AR = ar -r
ALLFLAGS = -D__MKL -D__FFTW3 -O2 -I$(MKLROOT)/include -I$(FFTW3ROOT)/include
FCFLAGS = $(ALLFLAGS) -ffree-form -fopenmp
FCFLAGS2 = $(ALLFLAGS) -ffree-form
CFLAGS = $(ALLFLAGS) -fopenmp
LDFLAGS = -L$(FFTW3ROOT)/lib -fopenmp
LIBS = -Wl,--start-group $(MKLLIB)/libmkl_gf_lp64.a 
$(MKLLIB)/libmkl_sequential.a $(MKLLIB)/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group 
-lpthread -lm -ldl -lstdc++ -lfftw3

fftw3_lib.o: pw/fft/fftw3_lib.F
                 $(FC) -c $(FCFLAGS2) 
$<dfontanari at orval02:~/cp2k/cp2k/makefiles$ 
## End test.ssmp ##

and regtest is working. Am I losing a lot of performance with this 
workaround (fftw3 not multithreaded)? Moreover It was suggested to use 
libmkl_sequential.a instead of libmkl_gnu_thread.a care to comment on this?

However I'd appreciate is someone can point out possible reasons for my 
previous error

Thanks!

Daniele
