Hi,

The reason that I used -macosx was based on the fact all macosx later than
10.3 are bundled with Accelerate framework. But I forgot that compilers
might not understand -framework argument, for ifort, the option should be
"-Wl,-framework -Wl,Accelerate" instead of "-framework Accelerate".

I also agree the point that we should use a different name for it, after
all, it doesn't represent the whole platform. "-macAccelerate" is okay to
me.

An updated version of the patch will be available during the weekend. :-)

Best,
