Hi Megha,

I am sorry but we only support the GNU binutils on this list.  For 
problems with Intel's compiler you really ought to contact Intel.

Does this problem still happen if you use gcc instead of icc ?  If so, 
then perhaps you could post a *small* test case (including the object 
file) generated with gcc for us to investigate.
