--arch=KNL with Intel 2016 build failure

[tomdeakin]

The following patch is required to Kokkos to build for KNL using the Intel 2016 compilers. The build complains that error: bad value (knl) for -march= switch

You have fallen into the GNU handler, not Intel so something else is incorrect here.

Ah, my bad.. I needed to set the --compiler=icpc flag. Closing as not an issue..
