Right. This makes a nice twist on the infamous XML and Regex story: - There once was a man who had a problem building NumPy. Then he thought, "I'll just use a custom compiler toolchain." Now he had two problems. Setting up a custom GNU toolchain for NumPy on Windows would not be robust enough. And when there be bugs, we have two places to look for them instead of one. By using a tested and verified compiler toolchain, there is one place less things can go wrong. I would rather consider distributing NumPy binaries linked with MKL, if Intel's license allows it.
