[R-SIG-Mac] Build R with Intel Compiler

[Simon Zehnder]

Your and Brian’s guesses were right: the -openmp linker flag was it. It compiles now fine, though I get errors in make check-all and make install: 

Running a make check-all gives me (with and without flag -ipo)

Running examples in 'mgcv-Ex.R’ failed

A sudo make install gives me:

It seems that it is connected with the MKL. I have in my MKL variable “-lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread. It seems that libiomp5 is not linked to correctly. 

I uploaded also my config.log to https://gist.github.com/simonsays1980/7359508 

Best

I don't think you should put them in manually. The actual error comes from missing libguide link flags, but they may be implicit if you fix the other problem.
