The "fix" was to remove a -static option in the linking, at least for the 32bit machines. (N.B., I would not recommend the options -no-prec-div and instead would use -mpi -prec_div -ipo1; the options you are using will be very slightly faster but at the expense of accuracy, and -ipo1 is faster for execution and safe.)
I don't know what you meant by the "NO!" with respect to /etc/csh.cshrc and ulimit. Even with a 64bit OS, depending upon specific details of the OS (and these things are never standard) many parameters such as stack-size limits, LD_LIBRARY_PATHS and other environmental variables are not inherited from the calling shell.
