Alright, we might need the asbestos suite thing:

Something ahead: I normally used
  python numpy/distutils/system_info.py lapack_opt
to figure out which library numpy is going to use.
With current svn I get the folloowing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "numpy/distutils/system_info.py", line 111, in ?
    from exec_command import find_executable, exec_command, get_pythonexe
  File
"/work/home/baecker/INSTALL_PYTHON5_icc/CompileDir/numpy/numpy/distutils/exec_command.py",
line 56, in ?
    from numpy.distutils.misc_util import is_sequence
ImportError: No module named numpy.distutils.misc_util


Concerning icc compilation I used:

  export FC_VENDOR=Intel
  export F77=ifort
  export CC=icc
  export CXX=icc
  python setup.py config --compiler=intel   install --prefix=$DESTnumpyDIR
| tee ../build_log_numpy_${nr}.txt

The build log shows
 1393 warnings
 3362 remarks

Should I post them off-list or on scipy-dev?

Trying to test the resulting numpy gives:

I already reported this a month ago with a bit more information
