Further updates:
* Intel with no MKL and macAccelerate passes those tests
* GNU compilers (MacPorts 4.4) with MKL and no macAccelerate do not pass (and are not the same numbers as with Intel compilers)
* Intel with MKL and OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 does not pass
Based on which, I think it's safe to say that MKL in particular does...interesting things. I don't think it's compiler-version specific, given that changing the compiler entirely (i.e., using GNU) produces similarly bad output. It may be MKL-version specific, though.
Shall we recommend that people not use the Intel MKL on the Mac for AT 1.5? I can put something up at the Amber On Mac blog to that effect.
