GCC is hardly your average OSS project (and Intel C is hardly standard
conforming).


You are just speaking nonsense. As specified here:

http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/asmo-na/eng/dc/tools/compilers/236372.htm?page=4

the intel compiler complies with C99. It is the best compiler for the
intel architecture producing always the best possible code. It is
compatible with gnu's gcc under linux, and with microsoft msvc
under windows.

That compiler is a GREAT piece of software.
