[BUG] Intel Fortran compiler installed but not found

Hi, I have intel compilers installed, but get this:

Found executable /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.1.163/linux/bin/intel64/icc customize IntelEM64TFCompiler
Found executable /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.1.163/linux/bin/intel64/ifort

Hi, I create a workaround (#12831) to fix this. It’s just a workaround but I explained the details. Hoping someone can make it better.

Probably due to a mismatch between where MKL was located for the numpy build:

library_dirs = /opt/intel/mkl/lib/intel64/ 
include_dirs = /opt/intel/mkl/include 

and the scipy build:

Found executable /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.1.163/linux/bin/intel64/icc customize IntelEM64TFCompiler
Found executable /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.1.163/linux/bin/intel64/ifort

Still a bug, but if you move your MKL install or create a symlink from /opt/intel/mkl/ I expect the build to succeed.
