Sorry for the delay in replying. :-\ I'm afraid we don't test with the NAG compiler. :-(
Would this be something that the NAG would be willing to do for the Open MPI community? Companies like Absoft do -- we have a light test suite that can be fully automated (i.e., run via cron). Ping me offline if you would be able to do this. I suspect that the version of Libtool we're using doesn't fully understand the NAG compiler. We get many of the compile-time options by extracting them from Libtool. We use Libtool 2.2.6b for OMPI v1.5. Do you know if that version of Libtool supports the NAG compiler well, or if a more recent version supports it better? Libtool made some fairly major changes late in the 2.2.x series that we don't really want to have to adapt to in the v1.5 series if we don't have to (i.e., we planned to adapt to them for the v1.7 series). But perhaps we could patch our Libtool for NAG...?
