Here's the pertinent section of my genmake file.
"marcellus.navo.hpc.mil" is an IBM SP4 machine.

    set FC         = ( 'mpxlf95' )c
    set LINK       = ( 'mpxlf95' )

Second, are you sure that you are applying o.b. values at all the o.b.
points? Is the dense water at temperature 0? This could be a missing
o.b. value. To avoid the messiness with o.b. masks, I have no
topographic gradient at the boundary, a.k.a. the bottom slope is flat at
the boundary. 

Third, I have seen waves emanating from the intersection of the o.b.'s
and the tile boundaries. Do you see anything like this at the original
spinup time? Jean-Michel has an idea for adding extra exchanges to the
o.b. routines to eliminate this.
