Thank you so much!
Do you use the building command for binaries on the website as the following?

./build charm++ net-linux-x86_64 iccstatic ibverbs ifort --no-build-shared --with-production
./config Linux-x86_64-icc --charm-arch net-linux-x86_64-ibverbs-ifort-iccstatic --cxx icpc

Hi Tao,

Jim would have to correct me here, but as far as I know there are no
additional compiler flags specified (i.e. other than those in
arch/*.arch) for the binaries on the website. According to my
knowledge version 9.0.30 of the intel compilers were used for those
builds.

Cheers,
Johan
