[Ipopt] Faster optimization

[Gerry Chu]

I'm using gcc 4.2. I just realized that I was using pardiso for gcc 4.3 
before, so I downloaded the 4.2 version and changed the configure 
parameters appropriately, but still the same error. I'm using a 32-bit 
OS on a 64 bit Intel Core processor. The config.log file doesn't have 
anything insightful in it.
