 I've been trying to set up configuration files to standardize a local 1.02
 numpy installation and have run into a problem with the intel compiler
 package. If I try

 `python setup.py config_fc --fcompiler=intel build_ext`

 (from the top level numpy-1.0.2 directory) I get the following failures
 (with ifort 8.1):

 {{{
 ifort: Command line warning: extension 'M' not supported ignored in option
 '-x'
 ifort: Command line error: Unrecognized keyword 'SSE2' for option '-arch'
 ifort: Command line warning: extension 'M' not supported ignored in option
 '-x'
 ifort: Command line error: Unrecognized keyword 'SSE2' for option '-arch'
 }}}

 I assumed that the 'noarch' option to the config_fc command would get me
 around this, but it does not. This seems to be because the
 get_flags_linker_so method in the
 numpy.distutils.fcompiler.intel.IntelFCompiler class always extends the
 options with the result of self.get_flags_arch(). Removing that call fixes
 the problem.

 I don't think that having architecture specific flags in the shared linker
 options even matters, does it? It would be nice if we could just get rid
 of the self.get_flags_arch() call in get_flags_linker_so for the 1.03
 release.
