Thread: 8.1.4 build failure on ICC 9.1

Hello,

I encountered this the other day and set up a build farm client for it.

That NaN problem has been discussed before, and I believe we concluded
it's a compiler bug.  See the archives for the switch to use to avoid
it.

I think it was meant as a "feature" by intel, but one man's feature is
another man's bug ;)

The flag to use is -mp1

Also, I see that you are getting all of the tons of output also.  Those
drove me nuts.  I sent in a patch for configure to take some of those
-W flags out which is now applied to HEAD as well as the addition of the
-mp1 flag for the ICC compiler.

I was more interested in the failures on the HEAD build on that box.  I
have had no problems with pl/(perl|python) on my box, though it is using
9.0 vs 9.1, I don't expect that they would have broken things THAT
badly...
