Have you tried putting that flag in LDFLAGS? The CFLAGS (and friends)
are compiler flags; the LDFLAGS is linker flags.
If I run configure with --disable-static --enabled-shared (the
default)
the "-static-intel" flag sees to work and all the intel libs get
statically linked into the openmpi executables.
Also why does ompi_info dynamically link in libibverbs.so.1 and
libmyriexpress.so? On nodes that do not have IB or MX installed
ompi_info exists immediately stating it can't find the IB or MX libs.
This is a function of --enable-static. --enable-static also implies --
enable-mca-static, which means that all the plugins are sucked up into
libmpi (and friends). Hence, when ompi_info links against libmpi, it
also has to link against all the support libraries (e.g., libibverbs).
