BTW - You have:
Machine platform:
('Linux', 'marclus4login3', '3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64', '#1 SMP Mon Oct 24
09:16:18 CDT 2016', 'x86_64', 'x86_64')
So glibc is updated - but not kernel - so its a partial update? [or
machine not rebooted after a major upgrade (7.2 -> 7.3) ?]
I wonder if thats the cause of problems..
On a CentOS7 box [not exactly SL - but] the following build with
"icc (ICC) 16.0.3 20160415" goes through fine
[I don't have IMPI here - so used --download-mpich]
