why do you even try to compile with PGI? i only would only do it after
getting paid for the debugging. in my experience the PGI C/C++ compilers 
always have been bug ridden (much more than their fortran 77/90 compilers
which have their own share of problems, particularly pgf90).
i've been testing them on and off for 10 years now, and produce with
few exceptions significantly slower executables than gcc or intel.

having PGI compilers as default (and no viable alternative to pgf90)
has caused our group a great deal of grief on cray xt3 machines and
cost me a lot of time finding and implementing workarounds...

cheers,
   axel.
