I have not tried with icc, but the following works for me with the
last mkl (I have only tried numpy).

[mkl]
library_dirs = /home/david/intel/mkl/10.0.1.014/lib/32
lapack_libs = mkl_lapack
mkl_libs = mkl, guide

(of course, adapt the library_dirs accordingly). All test pass. I have
updated the site.cfg.example in numpy. But really, if Intel keeps
changing its library names, there is not much we can do.

cheers,
