Advice on compiling R using Intel Compilers? Btw: -c99 is deprecated

2) Did I setup my config.site right for my system (assuming I want to
use Intel's MKL using Shared-BLAS), is it suboptimal or plain wrong?
And how can I easily test this?

I don't think configure will use the external BLAS/LAPACK libraries
without supplying --with-blas=something --with-lapack=someotherthing.
As I understand, if BLAS/LAPACK is not listed in the " External
libraries:" line of the configure output, make will use R's own
BLAS/LAPACK.  (You can also check with ldd R-2.7.0/lib/libR.so after
make.)
