Make Intel config compiler check more robust

eirikurj commented 6 months ago

Purpose

Previous PR #30 updated the Intel config for the new compilers. However, nightly builds are failing on the u20-intel-impi-latest image with the following error. This was not detected in previous PR tests, since we do not run tests on this image.

The same error is also appearing in the build output of https://github.com/mdolab/docker/pull/266, for example see here (copied here for archiving), but works as the correct Intel compiler is set in the catch-all else block.

The issue is related to some shell optimization in make and built-in functions (see here for details) not running a proper shell.

There are a couple of approaches we can take

add a shell specific character to invoke a proper shell (done in this PR)
change command to which, but the latter is not a built-in function and thus invokes a proper shell.

I am fine with either option, but I suggest we converge here before opening PRs on all other repos

Expected time until merged

ASAP as nightly tests are failing

This approach is fine with me, but I would like to add u20-intel-impi-latest to the Pipelines matrix to test the change. We can update the test matrix again after we merge https://github.com/mdolab/docker/pull/266
