I build Octave with Intel C++ and Fortran regularly, and link Octave
to ACML (I tried also Intel MKL).
There's no significant magic involved, except that you should be
careful about Intel's aggresive optimizations that can break the IEEE
math semantics. I build with -mieee-fp to stay safe.

Also, my Intel C++ 9.0 has a bug that I need to workaround manually,
but I think it's fixed in a recent version.
