icc lacks support for __builtin_ms_va_list, which is required for
wine64. You won't get very far with icc until that is fixed.

Currently only gcc supports it, I filed a bug with llvm/clang for it a
few years ago, but no action yet:

Interesting. Do any conformance tests fail on icc that pass gcc? Have
you benchmarked it compared to gcc?
