It was also suggested that the R-Project doesn’t really care about building with “non-standard” compilers, but I can’t find any evidence of that on the website (indeed, there’s some mention of successful past builds, and the build itself is successful).

For what it is worth, we used to build R with the Intel compilers and
MKL on our HPC cluster (on CentOS Linux), and we used the following
setup.  Note the comments about -fp-model precise and -ipo.  It might no
longer be a problem, but maybe worth checking.

fast="-ip -O3 -qopt-mem-layout-trans=3 -xHost -mavx"
## Notes:
## -static and -ipo break compilation
## -no-prec-div breaks make check
## -fp-model precise is needed for make check
## -wd188 removes a lot of warnings (see R Inst. & Adm. manual)
export CC="icc"
export CFLAGS="$fast -wd188 -fp-model precise"
export F77="ifort"
export FFLAGS="$fast -fp-model precise"
export CXX="icpc"
export CXXFLAGS="$fast -fp-model precise"
export FC="ifort"
export FCFLAGS="$fast -fp-model precise"

## This works with intel 2011.10, at least:
BLAS=--with-blas='-mkl=parallel'
LAPACK=--with-lapack

## To make the linker find libraries in modules:
export LDFLAGS=$(echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | sed 's/^/-L/; s/:/ -L/g')

./configure "$BLAS" "$LAPACK" --enable-BLAS-shlib --enable-R-shlib
make -j 8
make check
make install
