Yes.  The problem is that multiple 3.2 header files break icc.  It might
be that your distro has those header files located in a different place so
that the wrong ones aren't found first.

I have talked to intel and they have verified that it won't work on 8.0 with
gcc 3.2 yet, although they are looking at it since RH is the most popular
distribution...

I got things to compile cleanly by using older /usr/include files, but then
things break because some of the stuff has changed in the newer glibc libs...

IE profiling will crash with a core dump when the program exits, rather than
writing the branch prediction stuff out as it should...
