Intel C++ is designed to work with gcc's headers, so it's supposed to
either recognize gcc's builtins, or use a replacement header. So I
think it's a problem in Intel C++. A quick search turned this up:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=64188
it seems to confirm it's an Intel C++ bug. However, there's no
definite hint of a working version.

The only advice I can give you is to compile gcc 4.1.x, that works for
me with Intel C++ 11.0.
