Notes
 The Intel compilers are tested with a number of different Linux distributions, with different
versions of gcc. Some Linux distributions may contain header files different from those
we have tested, which may cause problems. The version of glibc you use must be
consistent with the version of gcc in use. For best results, use only the gcc versions as
supplied with distributions listed above.
 The default for the Intel® compilers is to build IA-32 architecture applications that require
a processor supporting the Intel® SSE2 instructions - for example, the Intel® Pentium®
4 processor. A compiler option is available to generate code that will run on any IA-32
