Dear experts,

on the scientific linux server (Linux login 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 16 11:16:02 CDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux; Scientific Linux release 6.3 (Carbon)

I am trying to compile/link statically OpenMPI 1.6.4 with Intel compilers, getting this error below.

Elementary test program
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	return 0;
}
gcc -static -Wl,--export-dynamic test.c

gives the same kind of error

/usr/bin/ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../../lib64/libc.a(strcmp.o)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

icc -static -Wl,--export-dynamic test.c
ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../../lib64/libc.a(strcmp.o)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie

Upon searching the net I found that this problem is related to package 'binutils', on my Debian/Ubuntu the solution is in installing the "binutils-gold" package.
Please do you have clue about package name for this scientific linux ?

Yours, Miro
