Well

Using the release 1.0.2 the compilation succeeds on my laptop, make testall succeeds too.  
So I tried compiling 1.0.2 on the supercomputer. Using gcc 4.8.5 and **the release 18.2 of intel MKL** : the compilation succeeds, but the tests fail with the message:

> ccall: could not find function \_\_ldexp\_expf in library libimf

I am not the first: see [Use\_intel\_libm = 1](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/use-intel-libm-1/16817)  
So, is there any solution for using Julia 1.0.2 with the mkl or is the issue still open ?

Sincerely,  
Emmanuel
