4. Linking to libiomp5.a

Please note that when compiling the static MKL-based library libnagc_mkl.a, the link to the runtime library libiomp5.a (version 2015.3.187), supplied with this distribution, will generate warning messages of the form:

  ld: warning: can't find atom for N_GSYM stabs ... libiomp5.a(iomp.o)

This issue appears to have been dealt with if linked to newer versions, such as 2016, of libiomp5.a.
