Comment (by cdavid):

 No need to create symlink: just use the site.cfg. This is not well
 documented, but you can use lapack_libs option in the [mkl] section of the
 site.cfg.

 I added an example in the site.cfg.example (it works for mewith mkl
 9.0.21):

 {{{
 #!python
  numpy.show_config()
 lapack_opt_info:
     libraries = ['mkl_lapack', 'mkl', 'vml', 'guide', 'pthread']
     library_dirs = ['/home/david/opt/intel/mkl/9.1.023/lib/32/']
     define_macros = [('SCIPY_MKL_H', None)]
     include_dirs = ['/usr/local/include', '/usr/include']

 blas_opt_info:
     libraries = ['mkl', 'vml', 'guide', 'pthread']
     library_dirs = ['/home/david/opt/intel/mkl/9.1.023/lib/32/']
     define_macros = [('SCIPY_MKL_H', None)]
     include_dirs = ['/usr/local/include', '/usr/include']

 lapack_mkl_info:
     libraries = ['mkl_lapack', 'mkl', 'vml', 'guide', 'pthread']
     library_dirs = ['/home/david/opt/intel/mkl/9.1.023/lib/32/']
     define_macros = [('SCIPY_MKL_H', None)]
     include_dirs = ['/usr/local/include', '/usr/include']

 blas_mkl_info:
     libraries = ['mkl', 'vml', 'guide', 'pthread']
     library_dirs = ['/home/david/opt/intel/mkl/9.1.023/lib/32/']
     define_macros = [('SCIPY_MKL_H', None)]
     include_dirs = ['/usr/local/include', '/usr/include']

 mkl_info:
     libraries = ['mkl', 'vml', 'guide', 'pthread']
     library_dirs = ['/home/david/opt/intel/mkl/9.1.023/lib/32/']
     define_macros = [('SCIPY_MKL_H', None)]
     include_dirs = ['/usr/local/include', '/usr/include']
 }}}

 I think the ticket can be closed.
