Fande,
We've seen trouble before with IBM on large intel systems at scale.
From the previous configure.log you sent I see
sh: mpicc -show
Executing: mpicc -show
sh: /ncar/opt/intel/12.1.0.233/composer_xe_2011_sp1.11.339/bin/intel64/icc -I/glade/apps/el6/include -I/glade/apps/el6/usr/include -I/glade/apps/opt/netcdf/4.2/intel/default/include -Wl,-rpath,/ncar/opt/intel/12.1.0.233/composer_xe_2011_sp1.11.339/compiler/lib/intel64 -Wl,-rpath,/ncar/opt/intel/12.1.0.233/composer_xe_2011_sp1.11.339/compiler/lib/ia32 -L/glade/apps/el6/usr/lib -L/glade/apps/el6/usr/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/glade/apps/el6/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/glade/apps/el6/usr/lib64 -L/glade/apps/opt/netcdf/4.2/intel/default/lib -lnetcdf_c++4 -lnetcdff -lnetcdf -Wl,-rpath,/glade/apps/opt/netcdf/4.2/intel/default/lib -m64 -D__64BIT__ -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-rpath,/opt/ibmhpc/pe1209/mpich2/intel/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/ncar/opt/intel/12.1.0.233/composer_xe_2011_sp1.11.339/compiler/lib/intel64 -I/opt/ibmhpc/pe1209/mpich2/intel/include64 -I/opt/ibmhpc/pe1209/base/include -L/opt/ibmhpc/pe1209/mpich2/intel/lib64 -lmpi -ldl -L/ncar/opt/intel/12.1.0.233/composer_xe_2011_sp1.11.339/compiler/lib/intel64 -lirc -lpthread -lrt
Note the -I/opt/ibmhpc/pe1209/base/include -L/opt/ibmhpc/pe1209/mpich2/intel/lib64 -lmpi which is probably some IBM hack job of some ancient mpich2
Now the page http://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/resources/yellowstone/software/modules-intel-dependent has the modules
impi/4.0.3.008 This module loads the Intel MPI Library. See http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mpi-library/ for details.
impi/4.1.0.030 This module loads the Intel MPI Library. See http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mpi-library/ for details.
Perhaps you could load those modules with the Intel compilers and avoid the IBM MPI? If that solves the problem then we know the IBM MPI is too blame. We are interested in working with you to determine the problem.
