We'd be interesting in hearing of these in bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/) - it might take some time
before you get a response right now, though, as the developer dealing
with these report and maintaining the compiler is on vacation/

FWIW, both octave and lapack/blas compile just fine on Alpha, IA64 and
i386 with this compiler.
