Hello all, JFYI and for log purposes: *In short: 'caddr_t' issue is known and is addressed in new(er) ROMIO releases.*

We do not know about there is any interest in supporting older Intel compilers, but we do not want to keep silent that currently openmpi/1.10.1 cannot be configured (and thus build) using intel/11.1 compiler with ROMIO+Lustre support.
