I did plan to look at it on my vacation, but it appears my Linux
machine is unreachable via ssh from the outside for some reason :(.

I have serious doubts that the library is actually unusable with
Intel 8/Linux though.  It looks like the library is failing to build,
perhaps due to a config problem at the test site.  I can't tell,
though, because the new test reports don't seem to show library build
failures.
