FYI,
Intel has released a version of their compiler that fixes the link
problem for applications that use OpenMP. Intel Fortran now supports
glibc-2.3.2 which is used in RH-9 and Suse-8.2. The old compatibility
hacks have become obsolete at least. 

I hear Intel-8 is in beta, anyone have experience with it?
